Pink flames can indicate wiring insulation common in BX type wiring which is very common in commercial buildings. BX is the wiring which has the flexible metal covering and is used where running conduit is not practical.
Certain syrups can also produce pink tinted flames if they have an alcohol base. The color comes from the dyes.
From what I saw the wind was the major factor in the spread. Couple that with the "oven effect" once it got under the boardwalk and the fire escalated to conflagration status. The best strategy to use in fighting a conflagration is just what they did which is.......back off, make a fire break, surround and drown and protect undamaged exposures.
