Witnesses suggest the fires are from some sort of explosions which took place at the Cedar Point Marina which resulted in multiple boats being set ablaze.

While Sandusky Fire and Rescue suggest no damage has been taken to the park itself residents and nearby businesses are being evacuated as a precaution and a particular area around the facility is being taped off to secure a perimeter to fight the fire and help in rescue efforts in case there are injuries.

At this time however no injuries are being reported and emergency responders said they cannot confirm the cause of the damage and the ongoing fire.
