OCCOQUAN, Va. – A fire broke out on a boat behind Maddigan’s Waterfront Grill in Occoquan today.
More in a press release from OWL Volunteer Fire Department:
Occoquan-Woodbridge-Lorton Volunteer Firefighters responded to the report of a boat fire at the dock behind Madigan’s Grill at 201 Mill Street, Occoquan. OWLVFD arrived on the scene finding a 36-foot Chris Craft engulfed in fire and endangering nearby boats.
Firefighters were able to extinguish the fire within minutes from the dock while the fireboats continued to respond. No one was on the boat at the time of the fire and no injuries were reported.
The boat was towed to a local marina and removed from the river to prevent any possible pollutants from the fire or fuel remaining on-board. The cause of the fire is believed to be an electrical malfunction.
