More than half a dozen house boats briefly caught fire at a popular boating destination on the Utah-Arizona line on Friday.
LAKE POWELL — More than half a dozen house boats momentarily caught fire at a popular boating destination on the Utah-Arizona line on Friday, igniting while tourists and jet skiers stood by before the flames were extinguished.
Robert Wilkes, the owner of Skylite Houseboat Management, said the fire began in the early afternoon and grew for about an hour and a half. Wilkes, a trained firefighter, used a garden hose and worked with park rangers, who he said arrived soon after the boats ignited, to help put out the fire. As of Friday evening, the fire had been extinguished and contained, said Lisa Cesaro, a spokeswoman with Aramark Destinations, which maintains the marina.
