Sal’s Pizza Building Catches Fire

Crews battle a blaze in the Sal's Pizzeria building on New Jersey Avenue in Wildwood Crest.

By Herald Staff

WILDWOOD CREST –  A Feb. 7 fire, in the building where Sal’s Pizza is located, left some smoke damage after being put out quickly by firefighters, who reported no one was there at the time of the fire.
The pizzeria was closed while the owners are on vacation, when an adjacent first-floor storage unit caught fire, Wildwood Crest Fire Chief Ron Harwood told the Herald.
Responding to a smoke alarm coming from the building, at 8500 New Jersey Avenue, responders saw smoke and quickly attacked the fire, containing it to its point of origin, storage unit number five, Harwood said. 
Harwood said beyond smoke there was no damage to the building, and that Sal’s had planned to reopen Feb. 16 but will need inspections to open back up. 
The county fire marshal is investigating the cause of the fire, but Harwood said there was nothing suspicious that he was aware of. 
North Wildwood Fire Department, Wildwood Fire Department and Rio Grande Fire Company were among the agencies that assisted Wildwood Crest Volunteer Fire Department.
