Pier structurally sound after AC fire

Atlantic City, NJ No serious injuries were reported in the blaze, which broke out at the Central Pier shortly before 7 p.m. Saturday and took nearly four hours to bring under control.

Authorities say the fire started inside a pizza shop, and the flames quickly spread to two clothing stores and a photography shop.

The Central Pier, which was built in the 1880s, has been hit by multiple fires in its history, including a May 2006 blaze that caused nearly $500,000 in damage.
