At least three die in New Jersey Shore Motel Fire

Huffington Post report: "POINT PLEASANT BEACH, N.J. (AP) — An early morning fire killed three people Friday at a Jersey shore motel whose residents included Superstorm Sandy victims who were staying there because their homes remain uninhabitable nearly a year and a half after the storm, officials said.

Ten people who had been staying at the Mariner's Cove Motor Inn were unaccounted for, but officials weren't ruling out the possibility that they had escaped before the two-story wooden building two blocks from the beach was engulfed in flames. Eight people were injured, three of them critically in the blaze that broke out around 5:30 a.m. in this popular summer resort town."
