Authorities believe the fire started in the repair room and workshop as a boat, that was inside for repairs, melted during the fire. South Sioux City and Homer fire crews also responded to assist in firefighting efforts. No one was reported inside the building during the fire. Further investigation will determine if the building needs to be red-tagged or if it's safe to re-enter.
Power to the facility is cut off at this time, and the cause of the fire is unknown. The fire is under investigation by the Nebraska Fire Marshall's Office.
