A fisherman participating in a fishing tournament on the lake "noticed an orange glow coming from one of the boats" and called 911, Cavender said. When firefighters arrived, they found two boats fully engulfed in flames at the end of a dock.

Firefighters used water and foam to keep the fire from spreading to other boats docked nearby, Cavender said.

The cause of the fire had not been determined late Tuesday morning.
