We have also spoken on-air with John Devlin, a retired Atlantic City Police Officer. The Devlin Faniiy owns the property directly next to the fire at 2311 Atlantic Avenue.

Devlin advised us that the Atlantic City firefighters did a great job … that they have the fire under control … and, that they are presently dealing with hot spots at this time.
