Westport Firefighters responded to a Lobster Boat fire at the Town docks late last night.

Firefighters received the call for flames in the area of the Harbor Master shack at 11:19 PM. They arrived to find the wheelhouse of a lobster boat well involved with fire. The fire was quickly knocked down and contained to the vessel. There was no damage to the surrounding vessels or dock, and there was no discharge into the river.

The fire, which is not considered suspicious, is under investigation by the Massachusetts State Police Fire Investigation Unit.
