another 25 foot boat. Firefighters from Atlantic and Cape May Counties were quickly called in to assist due to the long stretches needed to reach the boats at the far end of the marina and the close proximity of other boats. The high heat and humidity also required additional firefighters for relief. More than two dozen pieces of apparatus filled the marina parking lot and surrounding roads.

Once lines were stretched and operating, the fire was quickly knocked down with no further extension to other boats or the dock. No spill of fuel or oil into the water was reported. State Marine Police are investigating the cause.
