Officials believe an explosion could have caused the fire.

Firefighters successfully contained the fire by using boats to surround the fire according to assistant fire chief Daniel Lawson.

As many as two of the boats sunk, and the dock was pretty heavily damaged, but was not a total loss.

No injuries were reported.
