Officials released new information about the fire that tore through The Dive, a floating bar and restaurant on Lake Winnipesaukee.

According to the state fire marshal’s office, the fire was reported around 3:40 p.m. Saturday, while the boat was anchored at the Smalls Cove sandbar in Alton and open for business.

Firefighters from Alton, Gilford, Tuftonboro, and Wolfeboro responded to put out the flames. The New Hampshire State Police Marine Patrol also helped with the response.

No civilian injuries were reported, though the Alton Fire Department confirmed one firefighter had a minor injury.

In a statement, Alton Fire Department Chief Reinert said firefighters had limited resources, with a handful of departments able to use boats with firefighting capabilities on the lake.

High boat traffic on the lake Saturday also made the response harder, as crews had to get around other boats.

State Fire Marshal Sean Toomey said investigators think the fire started in the kitchen area. The fire is not considered suspicious, and the vessel owner has been fully cooperative with the investigation.
