One year ago, a group of humans came together to help people, because it's all they could think about doing. They embarked on an unexpected journey, where every day brought new challenges, new surprises, new experiences.

An update on the Seaside Boardwalk fires: Firefighters currently have the massive blaze under control. But this news did not come until after Seaside Heights emergency management coordinator William Hibell said 40 to 50 businesses were destroyed by the massive boardwalk fire, which is currently being contained by the trench built at Lincoln Avenue. The fire has engulfed roughly seven blocks, Boyd said. Firefighters tried to stop the inferno with a trench on Dupont Avenue, but the flames jumped over it.

After working so hard to bring the boardwalk back to prominence after Hurricane Sandy, may God bless these business owners, who are hopefully given another chance to rebuild and recover from another devastating disaster.

UPDATE: The boardwalk fire in Seaside Park has now spread to 20 businesses, and firefighters are being pulled back because of the intensity of the flames, The Star-Ledger has learned.

FEMA will pay for 90 percent of the cost of demolishing a house, hauling away the debris and dumping it in a landfill, said Ginger Rogan, deputy coordinator of Keansburg’s Office of Emergency Management.

While Keansburg, New Jersey is responsible for the balance, the municipality plans to pay for the bulk of its share through contributions from charities such as the Robin Hood Foundation, Holmdel Helps and RebuildRecover, Rogan said.
