massive fire on NJ boardwalk

Please somebody suggest water bombers for this fire
too windy for normal firefighting hoses.

Seems to happen every few years. Especially right after labor day.

figure vinnie is in wildwood this weekend

the morning commute was kinda interesting

drunk firefighters, straight from the fire, rolling south on the parkway at a decent clip, just before sunrise, everything was lit up and blaring, swerving all over the place.

i expected strippers on top pole dancing.

one wonders if any rushed reconstruction had anything to do with this.

listening to the witness account, i have to suspect human cause.

2:00 on a Thursday after season, what is the heavy draw that will cause wires to combust.

I'm thinking someone was scrapping under the boardwalk, there may be a body found

Maybe this time it will be rebuilt as a concrete walk. It seems the wooden boardwalk itself was a conduit for the tragedy.

Stereotype much? Hope you're joking..

They are looking at a possible electrical cause. Conduits running under the boardwalk. This section of boardwalk wasn't really damaged by Sandy.

i wish it was a joke

figure about ¼ to six

four big reds, fully lit up, schussing down the parkway

around mile marker 33

you could smell the smoke and testosterone from the northbound lanes
(that was a joke)
