A spokesman for the Ocean County prosecutor's office tells The Asbury Park Press that the specific origin of the accident has not been determined.
The wind-whipped fire destroyed five boats and damaged two others last week at the Ocean Beach Marine Centers in Lacey Township.
No one was injured in the fire. Firefighters said a stiff south wind actually spared several other boats nearby by blowing the flames away from them.
A boater on the scene estimated damage from the blaze at between a half-million and a million dollars. Officials are still tallying official damage totals.
