Fire Destroys Boats in Guntersville

By Associated Press

Guntersville, AL – A Monday morning fire destroyed more than a dozen boats at a marina on Lake Guntersville.

Guntersville firefighters were called to Covenant Cove Marina at about 3 a-m and were able to contain the blaze before it spread further. Fire Chief Rick Bearden said there about 250 boats are stored at the marina. He described most of the burned-out vessels as ''mostly mid-sized.''

Fire officials are trying to determine how it started.
