Massive fire erupts at popular Lake Cumberland marina

Crews responded to a massive fire on Lake Cumberland on Monday.

 

The fire broke out at the Conley Bottom Resort in Wayne County around 2:30 a.m

Firefighters said at least three buildings were already engulfed when they were called.

 

Right now, there are no reports of injuries.

 

Conley Bottom is a resort that rents houseboats. They also have waterfront lodging, a campground and several restaurants.

No information has been released on what sparked the fire.

 

Freddie Piercy, who co-owns the resort, said staff will rebuild the property this fall. In the meantime, they plan to construct a small, makeshift shop so they can continue operating over the summer.

 

“We didn’t lose any private boats and we didn’t lose any of our rentals,” Piercy said. “So we’ll have a makeshift office by Friday.”
