Videos from the Action Cam and viewers of the fire at the Ocean City Boardwalk.
Playland Castaway Cove says it was storing some ride parts in the building for the winter. No one was inside when the fire started, and the city says no one was hurt. If anybody knows us, we re going to come back with something bigger, that s for sure, said Brian Hartley, vice president of Playland s Castaway Cove.
Hartley tells Action News that the arcade and offices burned down, but the rest of the park was untouched and will reopen this summer.
Federal and local investigators were able to use a pattern of fire alarms, eyewitness accounts, photos and videos, a detailed excavation of the site and examination of forensic evidence to determine the cause and area of origin for the fire.
Federal agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives have joined the investigation into a massive fire on Ocean City's boardwalk last weekend.
