Three Yachts Catch Fire At Hinckley Marina In Portsmouth, Two Sink

Fire officials are investigating a Monday morning fire at the Hinckley Marina in Portsmouth that damaged three yachts and caused two of them to sink.

Crews received multiple call of a large fire just before 5 a.m. and by the time firefighters arrived, one of the yachts was fully engulfed in flames which were spreading to two nearby yachts.

A 60 foot sailboat and a 35 foot powerboat both sank at the dock while another 50 foot sailboat was saved from sinking.

No injuries were reported.
