A major three-alarm fire erupted on the Atlantic City boardwalk, specifically at the Central Pier near South Tennessee Avenue, on Thursday night. The blaze, which began shortly after 7 p.m., was battled by numerous firefighters and was eventually brought under control. Tragically, a 67-year-old man, believed to have been sleeping in the area, died in the fire. This incident is part of a troubling pattern as city officials noted that several fires have recently started under the boardwalk, often linked to homeless encampments.
