Dozens of firefighters are battling a fire in downtown Lakewood.
The fire broke out around 8:00 AM at the shops between 3rd and 4th Streets.
Smoke could be seen coming from the area of the photo store and cleaners. Neighboring stores were evacuated as well.
A general alarm was toned out, summoning all of Lakewood’s stations.
Mutual aid from neighboring towns is also being provided.
Expect closures in the downtown for several hours.
UPDATE 9:10 AM: The fire has been mostly contained.
The cause of the fire is being investigated by the Ocean County Fire Marshal’s Office.
This picture is between 3rd and 4th. Not 4th and 5th.
