Fire at Lake Lanier marina causes estimated $2 million in damage

Officials estimate a fire at Lake Lanier marina Tuesday night damaged at least 11 water vessels and resulted in $2 million in damage.

Hall County firefighters were still putting out hot spots at 9:30 p.m. at the Holiday Marina, located on the south side of the lake off Lanier Islands Parkway. One person was treated for injuries at the scene and refused transport to a hospital, according to fire Division Chief Zach Brackett.

No other injuries were reported, he said.

A photo of the scene provided by the fire department appeared to show several charred water vessels inside a metal structure.

The cause of the blaze is still under investigation by the Hall County Fire Marshal’s Office.
