The Ocean County Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating a dumpster fire that broke out Sunday morning in the vicinity of Hotel LBI, the 102-room luxury hotel at the base of the Causeway to Long Beach Island.
Ship Bottom fire officials said they were called to the scene at about 10:47 a.m. with mutual aid from the Surf City Volunteer Fire Co. Borough police were the first to arrive and found a trash bin, located against the building, on fire, according to Ship Bottom fire officials.
Officers immediately grabbed extinguishers to keep the fire away from the building, borough fire officials said.
