It's pretty bad. Got a big area of boardwalk, shops and all. They were calling up fire co.'s from down here in EHT (Southern Jersey). I don't know if that has ever happened before.

This whole country is turning into a damn Bruce Springsteen song.

well, now i feel bad. as i was running htrough that section on labor day, all i could thing was how shitty the boardwalk was right there, what with all the uneven boards many of which were somewhat coming up. it was basically the only stretch of wooden boardwalk that wasn't replaced after sandy.

Seeing the Funhouse drop into the ocean leaving behind a sad burning sign was surreal..

Is it my conspiracy-theory-addled mind at work, or does it seem a little strange to have a fire a week after end-of-season, originating in one of the few boardwalk businesses that didn't receive extensive renovations/subsidies for same after Sandy?

I just don't see how the fire spread so quickly over such a huge area. I know I'm missing something here, but I don't understand how it created so much damage.

Wind? Accelerant, like a flammable liquid? Both?

Well, small wooden communities built on wooden piers are their own accelerants. This is all too often how seaside promenade/amusement piers come to their ends.

it seems suspicious to me. very very much so. not the spread, though - its all tightly packed old wooden buildings on a windy day.

Old wood and alot of propane tanks....

Heard on the radio this morning that they are now looking in to this as suspicious.

I was looking at it as suspicious starting about five minutes after I heard about it.

They're calling it an accidental fire, due to faulty wiring made worse by Sandy.
