CFD responds to a burning boat on the roadway Saturday evening

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF)– Chattanooga firefighters responded to an incident involving a burning boat Saturday night.

At 7:08 p.m., Green Shift companies responded to 3800 Tennessee Avenue and 3700 St.Elmo Avenue.

A truck pulling a pontoon boat on a trailer hit a light pole and knocked it down and then flipped the boat off the trailer.

The boat caught fire and the driver dragged it behind the truck two blocks down the street. Debris was on fire at two different locations.

Firefighters extinguished the fires and then the cleanup process began to remove the charred debris from the roadways.

There were no injuries. Since it was a traffic related matter, any potential charges against the driver would come from law enforcement.
