OCEAN CITY, N.J. - A 4-alarm fire ignited on the boardwalk in Ocean City, N.J early Saturday morning.

The fire broke out at approximately 7:40 a.m. on the 1020 block of the Ocean City Boardwalk, fire officials said. 

Upon arrival, firefighters initiated a full response as a fire quickly advanced through a structure that includes the Playland’s Castaway Cove arcade and offices, Hamburger Construction Company and Dairy Queen. 

Altogether eight fire companies responded to the fire, which was placed under control around 11 a.m. 

Playland Castaway Cove took to Facebook to share that it was in fact their building which had caught fire.
