MANTEO — A cloud of black smoke rose from what appeared to be one boat on fire in Pirate’s Cove Marina in Manteo Friday in a resident-submitted video around 3:10 p.m.
Multiple firetrucks were onsite in the marina, and the fire was out before 3:25 p.m. A black cloud of smoke wafted across the Roanoke Sound toward Nags Head.
This was the second fire of the day on Roanoke Island. Citizens previously reported a house fire in Wanchese.
Dare County Emergency Management Director Drew Pearson did not have details immediately available on either fire but confirmed there was an early morning house fire Friday in Wanchese.
Dare County Fire Marshal Steve Kovacs did not immediately return a call Friday afternoon as of publication time.
This is a developing story.
