UPDATE: Nobody was injured when a boat caught fire on Lake Red Rock yesterday evening.

Emergency crews responded to numerous 911 calls at approximately 5:45 p.m. to the vessel west of the Red Rock Marina and south of Roberts Creek. Multiple people were on board, and no injuries were reported. The Iowa DNR assisted the passengers and helped them get to shore safely.

The cause has yet to be determined.
