KEYPORT, N.J. — Two firefighters suffered minor injuries battling a fire that destroyed three boats docked at a marina in Keyport on Monday, authorities said.
The fire broke out shortly before 3 p.m. at Brown’s Point Marina, Keyport police and the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office said.
One firefighter was treated at the scene while another was treated and released from an area hospital, a prosecutor’s office spokesman said. Firefighters cleared the scene at about 6:30 p.m.
The pier also was left with minor damage, officials said. The fire does not appear to be suspicious but remains under investigation.
The marina, located on West Front Street , sits on the Matawan Creek .
