A fire broke out on a boat at Silver Lake Marina in Grapevine on Sunday, damaging or destroying at least nine other boats and leaving one person injured, fire officials say.
Fire investigators said a boat caught fire at about 1:15 p.m. when someone tried to start an engine. Officials are investigating the cause of the fire and said it's possible the fire was sparked by an electrical short or a fuel leak.
The fire then spread to other boats docked at the marina, causing significant damage to four and minor to moderate damage to another six. Fire officials said the total number of boats damaged could grow as the investigation continues.
"Some have sank," said Grapevine Fire Chief Darrell Brown. "Some have burned and are not salvageable at all."
