A pile of debris behind the Sawmill Bar in Seaside Park flared up early Sunday morning around 2:20 a.m. which was doused with water by Seaside Park and Seaside Heights fire companies and put out by 3 a.m. according to the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office. Crews also wet down the area to make sure nothing else flared up.

The Prosecutor's office had no comment on the progress of the investigation.

Law enforcement continues to patrol the fire zone round the clock but will reassess the need for continuous patrol tomorrow.
