DEMI-JOHN — Firefighters and equipment from around Southern Brazoria County are battling a fire at a boat storage facility on Trammel Street in Demi-John.
Parts of the facility at Capt. Mark's Bayou Marina on Trammel Street were 100 percent engulfed, according to firefighters' radio traffic.
The Demi-John and Oyster Creek volunteer fire departments called for mutual aid from Freeport, Clute, Lake Jackson, Surfside Beach, Richwood and Angleton, asking for additional manpower and tanker trucks. Flames were showing as firefighters arrived and the facility was fully involved, according to radio traffic among responders.
It does not initially appear anyone was injured, responders said.
We have a reporter and photographer on scene and will update as information becomes available.
This is the second major fire in the small unincorporated community on Bastrop Bayou in the last month. On June 27, three homes were destroyed and others damaged when a fire swept through a stretch of waterside homes on Redfish Lane. Eight departments responded to that blaze.
