At approximately 3:00 am Sunday morning fire broke out on Pier 11 at Green Turtle Bay Marina and Resort.
It was proceeded earlier by an electrical storm which occurred around 2:30 am. The fire was first reported to management by a boater on an adjoining dock. By 3:30 am firefighters from Livingston and Marshall Counties were engaged in attempts to contain the fire utilizing fireboats and land-based equipment.
Unfortunately, the entire pier as well as many of the boats located on the dock were destroyed by the fire. Another heavy rainstorm at 4:00 am helped the firefighters prevent the fire’s spread to other docks in the harbor.
At this point, there are no known personal injuries nor casualties. The source of the fire remains unknown. Affected boat owners are being contacted by management and advised of the incident.
