Physical Therapy Center Reopens Following Blaze

A Toms River physical therapy center damaged by a mid-January fire has since reopened, its owner announced. 

The Atlantic Physical Therapy location on Route 9 damaged by an early morning fire on Jan. 14 was closed for repairs, but owner Dave Manzo said that the center is now open. 

An air conditioning unit installed a week prior appeared to have ignited the blaze, police have said. 

"The fire caused water and smoke damage but there were no injuries as a result of the fire," Toms River Chief of Police Michael Mastronardy said at the time. 

Patients who used that center were transferred to Atlantic's Manchester location while repairs to the building were made.
