BREAKING: At least eight people were killed in an explosive fire at a boat dock in Scottsboro, Alabama, the fire chief says.
People on boats patrol near the charred remains of a dock following a fatal fire at a Tennessee River marina in Scottsboro, Ala., Monday, Jan. 27, 2020. Authorities said the explosive fire was reported overnight while people were sleeping on boats tied up at the structure.
At least seven people were sent to hospitals suffering from exposure to the frigid water or the flames. The fire quickly consumed the dock as people were sleeping, cutting off their escape routes and raining debris. The blaze was reported shortly after midnight as people living in the boats were sleeping, and consumed the wooden dock and an aluminum roof that covered many of the vessels, cutting off escape routes and raining debris into the water.
The blaze destroyed the B dock, about 50 yards from the A dock where the boat of Durham’s boyfriend was moored. Necklaus said earlier that seven people were hospitalized and seven others were missing as the fire destroyed at least 35 boats docked in Jackson County Park.“They had slips here,” Harnen. “That doesn’t mean they’re in the water and it doesn’t mean they’re dead. We’re making attempts to find them.”“The damage from the dock has fallen on top of the boats, and some of the boats have drifted off,” Harnen said. The aluminum roof and wood structure was destroyed, as were about three dozen boats.
