Because it is not as simple as you think. The bulked on the beach side is much thicker and would take longer to access. Cutting holes on the top is faster and the holes are also used for venting purposes just like a chimney. Hope this answerers your question.

Why couldn't they access it directly from the beach? Seems simpler than cutting holes in the boards...

Eastern Daylight Time Subj: [AsburyParkGLH] Fire At FIFTH AND BOARDWALK TODAY Had a small fire under the boards at Fifth Avenue this evening. I am not ruling out improperly discarded smoking materials as the cause. Thank goodness for the quick response of our fire department. This could have been a disaster for the boardwalk. As you can see they had to cut several holes in the boardwalk to expose the underside to extinguish the fire and also to gain access underneath.
