^Great link Nicole.. Thanks.

The fire is so big, the smoke plume is showing up on weather radar.

Posted three new photos showing off how massive this fire is and some residential property on fire.

According to that live news report link, the fire just got to the Funtown sign.

Well I guess everything that has happened to Seaside this past year is all karma for the episodes of Jersey Shore...

 

This fire wouldn't of been as bad as it is right now, if the first truck on scene started to put water on the fire instead of trying to get into the Khor's building.

Any new photos from local news to post? Take a picture of your TV screen and post it if they show anything interesting!

Nope, local news isn't showing anything right now. Maybe they did earlier, but I wasn't around to see it.

Governor is on the way. It started near the ice cream stand.

CBS NY weatherman is saying rain will hit Seaside Heights in 2 hours. I was seconds too late from catching the graphic. Its a small cell of dissipating thunderstorms, but he's pretty confident they'll make it to the park!

This is heartbreaking. This is where my band and I played every month, where my family would go to for a night at the shore, where I met my fiance. Here's hoping they can contain this beast as soon as possible and no one gets seriously hurt in the process.

 

Man, when life hands you lemons, it shoves them up your ass as well.

[cmullin]

Wow, that's awful, I go to the shore near there every year. In 2012 Hurricane Sandy and now in 2013 a fire, they just can't catch a break. Do we know if there are any injuries or fatalities?

[alwaysairtime14]

Reporting 80% of the boardwalk is destroyed.

[larrygator]

I just heard from my cousin was working about a mile from the pier when the emergency crews starting arriving in the area. The smoke is pretty heavy even 2 miles north of the fire.

That's nuts! That area just can't catch a break.

[XYZ]

Whoa, this was unexpected. Hopefully, they can get the fire out soon, though it doesn't look good for the park.

[cfc]

This is a shame after all the Shore has gone through since Hurricane Sandy.

[STR8FXXXINEDGE]

WOW... this is horrible! Makes me sick to my stomach. Hope everyone comes out of this alright.

Untrue! The fire departments just cut a 20 foot section of the boardwalk out at the midway point of the boardwalk (just south of the Midway Steak Stand) The NJ governor is saying that anything south of that cut will be destroyed and the fire department is confident they can prevent the fire from jumping to the northern part of the boardwalk (where Casino Pier is)
