The fire on the boardwalk in Seaside Park and Seaside Heights is nearly under control as most mutual aid has left and an investigation begins into the cause of the fire.
Despite the destruction of Thursday's boardwalk fire just to the south, the Seaside Heights boardwalk is open and members of the Business Improvement District say long-awaited events this weekend will take place, and they predict the same for the full lineup of autumn activities.
A quick-moving blaze that damaged four blocks of the Seaside boardwalk is 95 percent contained, according to Governor Chris Christie. Fire crews could be on scene for days to address "hot pockets."
