On 03/08/2013 at approximately 2000 hours I received a call stating that there was a large boat fire at Pickwick Landing State Park Marina, I contacted Hardin County Central Dispatch and they confirmed that there was a multiple boat fire on E dock of the marina and that fire crews were on scene.  I arrived at approximately 2017 hours and found a large boat(later determined to be the BOB-N-C) aground on the northern bank of the cove. Fire crews were still trying to extinguish the flames on the boat. I went to E dock and found several witnesses that stated at around 1930 hours they were sitting on the back of another vessel when they heard a "pop" and then a splash, they then said they saw flames coming out of the Bob-N-C. Several of the witnesses tried to untie the burning vessel but were unable to fully get it out of the slip. As the Bob-N-C burned in slip E-17, it also burned two pwc''s located in the same slip as well as a carver boat located in slip E-15(Best Polisea) and a pacemaker vessel located in E-19(No reservations). There was also extensive damage to the dock itself, mainly to the roofing material, support beams and the floatation as well as a few storage boxes. The entire dock was also covered in soot. The cause of the fire is undetermined at this time.
