This image from aerial video shows a raging fire in Seaside Park, N.J. on Sept. 12. The fire began at around 2 p.m. in the historic Kohr's ice cream stand on the Seaside Park section of the boardwalk. Wind conditions caused the fire to quickly spread north into neighboring Seaside Heights.

There were no early reports of any injuries, aside from a few fire fighters that were treated for smoke inhalation.

N.J. Gov. Chris Christie addresses the media as the massive fire continued to burn and spread on the evening of Sept. 12. “After all the effort and time and resources that were put in to help the folks at Seaside Park and Seaside Heights rebuild—to see this going on is just unthinkable,” said Christie.

The fire required as many as 400 firefighters to get it under control. Crews worked to dig up a swath of the boardwalk with heavy machinery in hopes of stopping the fire from spreading further. They filled the void with sand to construct makeshift dunes. Water was in short supply so it was pumped from the nearby Barnegat Bay, reports say.

The fire was finally contained at around 11 p.m. Thursday night, when officials decided to dismantle a section of the boardwalk using equipment from a crew that was there during the day repairing what had been destroyed by Superstorm Sandy. Friday morning, Gov. Christie said the fire is 95 percent contained, as firefighters continue to dump water on hot spots.

Smoke rises from the Funtown Pier on Friday, Sept. 13 at Seaside Park, the morning after the fire. This section of the boardwalk became very well-known following Sandy since two symbols of the storm's effect on the Jersey shore—the roller coaster in the ocean and the inexplicably upright Ferris wheel—were located on Funtown Pier. Almost all of the children's rides on the pier were lost to Sandy and the area remained closed this summer. The Pier collapsed from the fire.
