Crews were dispatched at approximately 5:49 p.m. on May 23 to Anthony Home Road for a reported boat fire. Upon arrival, firefighters found two boats and a dock on fire. Ladder 1 (w/six) arrived and assisted with fire attack by orders of command. The fire was extinguished, but crews remained on scene for over an hour conducting overhaul operations before returning to service.

No injuries were reported in the incident, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
