A LARGE FIRE destroyed a duplex and severely damaged two others at 54th Street & Landis Avenue in Sea Isle last week, and claimed the life of an 89-year-old woman, while injuring two others. Fire crews from Sea Isle City, Strathmere, Ocean City, Seaville, Belleplain, and Avalon battled the fire. The Sea Isle Police Department gratefully acknowledged the neighbors and the Sea Isle community in general for providing food and drink for first responders during the 24-hour operation. The Sea Isle community has also rallied around the families struck by the tragedy by donating food, shelter, clothing, and financial assistance.
