This morning, crews were called out to a massive houseboat fire at Patoka Lake.

Emergency crews are still on the scene at Hoosier Hills Marina at Patoka Lake where several houseboats have caught fire Friday morning. According to Hoosier Mills Marina, a houseboat caught fire earlier this morning, however there has not been any confirmation as to what started the fire as of yet.

As you can see in a video posted by the Indiana DNR Law Enforcement Facebook page, this is a devastating scene from Hoosier Hills Marina. This appears to be a total loss for several houseboats docked there. It should be noted that Hoosier Hills Marina is completely separate from Patoka Lake Marina as they are located at different parts of Patoka Lake.
