Less than a year after being hit by Superstorm Sandy, iconic N.J. towns Seaside Park and Seaside Heights faces tragedy again after a massive fire struck the boardwalk, damaging and destroying the newly repaired boardwalk and businesses.
At around 2 p.m. on Sept. 12, a six-alarm fire erupted in the historic Kohr's ice cream stand on the Seaside Park portion of the boardwalk. The fire quickly spread down towards the Seaside Heights section, burning six blocks before reaching a trench dug up as a last-ditch effort to contain the flames at 11 p.m.
