Jamestown and South Russell Fire Department dispatched to the State Dock for the report of a boat fire in the 300 slip area just after Sunday morning. On scene firefighters found one boat fully involved. Both occupants had safely gotten off before firefighters arrived. The boat was pulled from it, slipped by fire department personnel with fire suppression underway on the dock. The boat was successfully removed, but sank before it could be beached just outside the dock area. There was extensive damage to the slip, the boat was in, other boats and dock items received smoke and heat damage in the area. Firefighters were on scene about three hours. There were no injuries to bystanders, dock employees, or firefighters. Fire still under investigation at this time.

According to Jamestown Fire Chief Jeff Landers, I feel that both departments worked together great and did a great job considering how far we had to travel. Could have been worse.
