Brandon Twp.-At about 2 p.m., May 27, the Brandon Township Fire Department responded to a burning boat on Bald Eagle Lake.
When firefighters arrived a fiberglass boat was engulfed in flames while still tied to a dock. Heavy black smoke could be seen for miles.
“There were concerns the fire threatened the dock and brush near the lakeshore,” said David Kwapis, fire chief. “The fire was out in about 15 minutes; however, the fuel from the tank has nowhere to go except back in the boat, so reigniting is a possibility.”
