New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is at the scene of massive fire that's engulfing a boardwalk along a section of the Jersey shore that was damaged by Superstorm Sandy.

Christie's spokesman says the governor is deeply concerned about the fire in Seaside Park and wanted to get a first-hand look.

He plans to speak with officials at the Seaside Heights police station Thursday evening and then hold a news conference. We will carry that news conference live here on NBC10.com.

The fire is believed to have started in an ice cream shop on a boardwalk that was heavily damaged during Sandy.

Ocean County Prosecutor spokesman Al Della Fave says the fire had reached an "all call" stage by Thursday afternoon.

That means a call for assistance has gone out to every fire department in Ocean County.

An eyewitness told NBC10 Jersey Shore Bureau Reporter Ted that the fire started under the boardwalk.
