episode_narrativeA five acre marsh fire caused by a welder's torch was exacerbated by the unseasonably dry weather during the second half of April and very strong and gusty northeast winds. The fire started around 1120 a.m. EDT behind Harrah's within Atlantic City. Workers were building a walkway from a parking lot into the casino. The strong winds coupled with flames stretching into the marsh beyond the hoses' reach made it a difficult fire to control. Nevertheless, it was contained by 1 p.m. EDT. No injuries, property damage or evacuations occurred. The peak wind gust at the Marina within Atlantic City was 29 mph.
