Fire Burns Several Homes in Sea Isle City

SEA ISLE CITY — A fire burned at least three houses in Sea Isle City on Thursday.

Firefighters battled gusty winds to put out the flames in the homes at the corner of 54th and Landis Avenue, according to video by CBS Philly of the fire from a helicopter.

Two of the homes were badly charred and at least one looks like it collapsed. A fourth looked like it sustained some damage.

Two vans parked below the homes appeared to be burned.

At Cape May Court House, just a few miles away winds were out of the west at 11 MPH and gusting to 21 MPH, according to WPG Chief Meteorologist Dan Zarrow.

Smoke from the fire could be seen in Ocean City and Longport to the north and from the Garden State Parkway, according to The Press of Atlantic City.
