Fire destroys Jersey boardwalk
Description
A raging fire destroys parts of New Jersey's iconic boardwalk just as people in the region are rebuilding after last year's devestating hurricane.

(SOUNDBITE) (English) NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR CHRIS CHRISTIE SAYING:
"After all the effort and time and resources that we've put in to help the folks in Seaside Park and Seaside Heights rebuild, to see this going on, as I said at the top, is just unthinkable. So, I know how I'm feeling, I can only imagine how the residents and business owners in this area are feeling. My heart goes out to them. That's why I'm here, to make sure that every resource is brought to bear to contain this problem."
The region was amongst the hardest hit by Hurricane Sandy in October 2012.
The cause of the fire is not yet known.
