On September 12 , 2013 , a ten-alarm fire swept from the Funtown Pier northward . The fire is believed to have started under the boardwalk , below the Kohr 's Kustard stand at the southern end of the pier . The wind pushed it northward , and fire crews were able to make a stand at Lincoln Avenue by tearing up the newly replaced boardwalk which had been destroyed less than a year before by Hurricane Sandy . Jack & Bill 's Bar and Kohr 's Kustard were two businesses that were both destroyed in the 1955 and 2013 fires
