Boat Fire at Frankie and Louie’s
29 August 2026

On Saturday, August 29, 2026, the Sunrise Beach Fire Protection District received an alarm for a residential structure fire on Hidden Valley Rd at 2:45 pm. Upon arrival, the first unit found a fire in the woods, with no extension into the residence. Truck 12 was cancelled and moved to Station 2 for coverage. The District then received an alarm at 3:05 pm for boat fire at the gas dock at Frankie and Louie’s. As other units were still engaged in the Hidden Valley call, Truck 12 responded to the scene, Chief 1200 responded to Station #1 to retrieve an additional engine.

Truck 12 arrived on scene to find a working boat fire. Engine 1212 requested an additional tanker from Gravois and a fireboat from Lake Ozark. Engine 1212 gave immediate water and the fire was brought under control as Gravois Tanker 44 arrived on scene. Rocky Mount Fire Boat 629 also arrived on scene and assisted with extinguishment. Squad 12 and Tanker 1244 were released from Hidden Valley, Squad 12 responded to the scene with Marine 39 and Tanker 1244 arrived on scene at Frankie and Louie’s.

Tanker 1244 was released shortly after arrival to cover the District, Marine 39 and Boat 22 from Lake Ozark were cancelled. One civilian was treated on the scene for a foot injury by Gravois Firefighters. The boat sank near the docks. No damage was sustained to business.

Rocky Mount Firefighters have been busy. July was a record setting month for call volume for the Rocky Mount Fire District. On average Rocky Mount Firefighters respond to about 40 calls in a given month. July 2026, proved to be very different, with a total of 130 incidents for the month. We had two days in which accounted for 59 of those calls (36 of the Fourth of July and 23 on July 10th). The most impressive fact; every call was covered by our own personnel. We have an incredible group of people volunteering to serve this community and we could always use more help. If you think you might have what it takes, please stop by on a Monday night training or speak to our members about how to get involved.
