MANTOLOKING, N.J. - Multiple fires are burning in a New Jersey shore town that was hit hard by Sandy, but ABC said there aren't any fire crews available to send to the area.

Video from WABC in New York shows flames reaching in the sky over Mantoloking. There's a large cluster of flames and smaller fires spread out from it.

It's not clear what's burning.

The small town, which sits between the Atlantic Ocean and Barnegat Bay, suffered severe damage during the storm.
