On 5/3/15, Sharps Chapel VFD was dispatched to a houseboat fire at Lakeview Marina. When fire units arrived on scene, they found 1 houseboat fully involved with flames out on the buoy line. A floating dock tied to the houseboat came free and was floating towards other boats. With the assistance of a boat owner at the dock, fire units were able to put the fire out on the floating dock and pushed it to the bank away from any other boats. The fire was contained to the one houseboat. It is unknown as to how the fire started. No one was on the boat when the fire started. A special thanks to Tim Lasley for using his boat to assist fire crews on the scene.
