Two boats docked in the Kewaunee Harbor were destroyed by fire on Monday afternoon. Assistant Fire Chief Jim Kleiman says the two boats were fully engulfed when the Kewaunee Fire Department arrived at the Kewaunee Marina at about 2:15 p.m. Kleiman describes the action taken when they arrived at the scene.
Thick billowing black smoke crossing over Highway 42 north of the bridge could be seen from a distance for several minutes and crews worked for over an hour to extinguish the blazes. A third docked vessel was damaged as well, according to Kleiman. The cause of the fire is still being investigated and no injuries were reported.
