Wellfleet Town Pier Boat Fire Cleanup Continues

The cleanup continues at the Wellfleet Town Pier after two boats caught fire early Thursday morning.

Several area fire departments and the U.S. Coast Guard responded to the scene to assist.

One boat sank, the other sustained damage and the pier was also damaged.

Trench cuts were made on the pier for ventilation and the Harbormaster and Coast Guard deployed attack lines to get under the fire.

Hazardous material booms have been set up around the entire pier to contain any potential contaminants and safeguard the shellfish grants.

The State Fire Marshal is investigating the cause of the fire.
