Below, other cast members weighed in on the disaster that officials say is 95 percent contained. However, investigators are suspicious of the fire's origins. "Fire of this magnitude with no obvious cause goes to the lead investigative agency in the county, which in this case is the Ocean County Prosecutor's office," one official told ABC News.
