Monticello, KY firefighters responded to Safe Harbor Beaver Creek just after midnight on Thursday night for a report of houseboats on fire. When units arrived, three boats were fully engulfed in flames. Quick action by firefighters, boat owners and dock workers saved other boats from being destroyed by the fire. A few other boats received minor damages due to the heat and fire.
Firefighters spent over 4 hours on the scene battling the blaze. Firefighters drafted water from the lake to use in extinguishing the fire. A combination of hand lines laid out on the dock, stretched out to the fire and the deck gun on top of the truck were used to control the fire.
