VIDEOS: A large fire at a Nashville marina damaged more than a dozen boats and a dock on Tuesday morning.

Massive plumes of smoke and rolling flames enveloped a dock at Elm Hill Marina on Percy Priest Lake just before 7 a.m. after flames from a houseboat fire quickly spread at the marina.

When the Nashville Fire Department responded to the marina at approximately 6:50 a.m., they found a houseboat “fully involved with smoke and flames.”

“The vessel was docked in its slip, and the fire had already extended to several nearby boats,” a press release from NFD said.

Firefighters immediately worked to contain the flames, “stretching a handline the length of the pier and utilizing a tank-to-tank water supply due to the absence of fire hydrants within the marina.”

Marine Operations and Office of Emergency Management units joined in the battle against the blaze from the water.

“To help protect the surrounding environment, a special request was made for more than 1,000 feet of containment boom to control fuel and runoff from the damaged vessels,” the fire department reported.
