SPRING LAKE, Mich. — No one was injured when a large boat caught fire Saturday in Smith’s Bayou off Spring Lake.

A 46-foot boat caught fire about 5:15 p.m. Saturday, according to the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Marine Division. When crews arrived, they found smoke coming from the engine area.

Once responding units were assured no one was on the boat, it was towed to shore. Firefighters with the Ferrysburg Fire Department put the fire out.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
