Does anyone have an update on the fire than occurred last night at the marina at Markly cove resort. Saw brief coverage on the news last night. Preliminary reports said that they lost several rental houseboats and over twenty moored private boats and jet skis along with a good portion of the private docks.hate to hear it. They just rebuilt after the Hennessy fire that roared through there three years ago!

Dock fire destroys 23 boats

Cal Fire investigators are still trying to determine the cause of a dock fire Friday night at Markley Cove Resort on Lake Berryessa in Napa County that destroyed at least 23 marine craft, including houseboats, longboats, Jet Skis and pontoon boats.

Cal Fire spokesman Jason Clay said Saturday morning there are “no known injuries” and the exact cause of the fire is still under investigation. Cal Fire is leading the investigation.

The fire was first reported at 8:55 p.m. and it took a little more than three hours to extinguish. Clay said a section of the dock that was burning became separated and drifted

away into the lake, preventing further damage to the rest of the dock and other tethered boats.

“We were able to stop forward progress on the actual dock fairly quickly once firefighters arrived at the scene,” Clay said. “The burning portion detached from the rest of the dock ... approximately half of the dock.”

Thanks for the update. That area has been through so much from the Hennessy fire several years ago. When I first saw the Markey Cove area after the fire raged through I thought that there was no way that they would ever rebuild!
