Posted

PAGE, Ariz. – On Friday June 2, 2023, at 1:23 p.m. there was a report of a vessel fire at the Wahweap Marina, located on Lake Powell near Page, Arizona.

The fire started on one vessel and spread to several other vessels. One of the vessels that was on fire was pushed out of its boat slip and into the marina and was stopped by the breakwater which then caught fire. There were no fatalities. Two people were evaluated on site for smoke inhalation by Kane County EMS personnel and released.
