A boat docked at the Saint Andrews wharf had dark-coloured smoke coming from its bow on Wednesday evening.
Around 3:10 p.m., firefighters were seen arriving on scene. Due to a weight restriction on the wharf approach, fire trucks are unable to drive down the length of the wharf. Firefighters were seen by reporters hauling the fire hose to the end of the structure.
Water Street is closed to traffic from William Street to Frederick Street. Crews from Eastern Charlotte were also called to the scene to assist.
It remains unclear how the fire started.
More to come…
