Devastating Jersey Shore Boardwalk Fire - ReBoot | TheBattalion.tv Firefighter Series - Fire, EMS, Rescue, Training

This is a mini-documentary of the massive fire thatquickly consumed six blocks of businesses on a stretch of Jersey Shore boardwalk, devastating a community damaged by Sandy last in 2013.

Our Directory of Photography was filming with the the Westampton Fire Department when the call came in.

More than 600 firefighters were called in to battle the raging, wind-whipped fire that started at a Seaside Park ice cream shop and quickly spread to the boardwalk. About 80 percent of the boardwalk was engulfed, and as many as 22 buildings were incinerated as winds fanned the flames after the fire began at around 2:30 p.m. Thursday.
