KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—TWRA wishes notify boaters coming to the UT football game by water that docking will be reduced by half due to recovery efforts and oil/gasoline cleanup after a boat fire this morning. If at all possible, avoid coming to today’s game by boat.
A 42′ cabin cruiser sank after catching fire at the Vol Navy docks this morning around 7 a.m. All four occupants escaped onto the dock without injury after unsuccessfully attempting to extinguish the flames with a fire extinguisher. The Knoxville Fire Department put the fire out and TWRA officers are awaiting Tow Boat U.S. to recover the wreckage.
