Fire at Des Moines Marina

Maybe you saw the reports that a fire occurred at the Des Moines Marina on Sunday night. In all, six boats were destroyed and two people were injured.

Checking in with the Des Moines Marina head, Joe Dusenbury, he felt fortunate that it wasn't much worse. Here's his check in:

Peter, thanks for thinking about us and thanks for your offer of assistance. Things are under control so far, it could have been much worse.  State agencies, specifically DOE and Fish & Wildlife have been very helpful and we already have the permits we need to do the demo and clean-up.  I’ll let you know if we run into any problems with the permitting the replacement.

Thanks again,

Joe
