VIDEO: Fire Engulfs Fishing Boat During Refueling Operation
A fire completely destroyed a fishing boat at Shell Beach Marina on Tuesday. The Coolidge Fire Station responded to a 9-1-1 call but was unable to save the vessel, which was found fully engulfed in flames.
Firefighters used water from a fire tender to control the blaze, which also caused damage to two nearby boats.
There were no injuries reported, and the fire department is investigating the cause, which may have been related to a refueling accident.
