Large Fire Breaks Out At Nashville Marina
On Tuesday (February 3), an enormous fire engulfed the Elm Hill Marina in Nashville. The marina is on Percy Priest Lake, a reservoir located just 10 miles away from downtown Nashville.
News Channel 5 reports that the Nashville Fire Department responded to the scene at the marina around 7 AM local time on February 3. There, they found a houseboat engulfed in flames and smoke. By the time the fire crew arrived, the fire had spread to other boats nearby.
A total of 13 boats were destroyed by the blaze. Thankfully, no one was injured, and all occupants evacuated safely.
WSMV, another Nashville-based news outlet, cites a press release from the fire department. They described how the fire was extinguished, saying, firefighters stretched “a handline the length of the pier and [utilized] a tank-to-tank water supply due to the absence of fire hydrants within the marina.”
