ST. GEORGE — National Park Service officials are asking the public for help in its investigation of the houseboat fires that occurred at the Wahweap Marina at Lake Powell on Friday.

Specifically, the park service is seeking any photos or video people took of the fire for use in the investigation into the incident, according to a press release issued Monday.

The June 2 fire was reported about 1:23 p.m. at the Wahweap Marina near Page, Arizona, the news release said. It was initially reported that a single houseboat was on fire. The vessel was moored on B dock near the Latitude 37 restaurant.

The fire quickly spread to other houseboats. One houseboat that was pushed away from the dock in an effort to keep it from catching fire was stopped by breakwater and caught fire as well.
