A quiet night in Belleville’s Victoria Park and Harbour came to an abrupt end with reports of two boats being on fire near the entrance to the harbour early today (Wednesday).
Belleville firefighters were called out at 2:16 this morning to find two small pleasure boats up in flames. The boats were separated by some distance.
City police and Hastings-Quinte paramedics also responded although no injuries were reported. The fires were under control before 3 o’clock.
The cause of the fires will be investigated by the Belleville Police Service and the Ontario Fire Marshal’s Office.
