RedactedNarrative: On January 4, 2022, I, Overton County Wildlife Officer received a call from TWRA Region 3 dispatch at approximately 15:00 regarding a fire at Horse Creek Marina. Dispatch advised that Clay County EMS was requesting assistance. Upon my arrival at the scene at 15:42 I observed members of East 52 Volunteer Fire Dept. attempting to control a houseboat that was on fire. The members of the fire department appeared to have the fire under control. 
  
  Upon interviewing marina employees and members of the fire department, I was informed the houseboat was unoccupied at the time the fire started in the assigned marina slip. A marina employee noticed the smoke coming from the vessel and untied the vessel from the dock. 
  
  The employee used another nearby boat to pull/push the houseboat away from the other boats and structures and maneuver it toward the boat ramp so that the fire department could get the fire under control. The houseboat was ruled a total loss. Chief  stated that he was unable to determine the cause of the fire but it is believed to be an electrical issue as the owner of the boat had been doing repairs.
  
  There have been multiple attempts to contact the owners of the vessel with no contact being made.
