MARSHALL, Calif. - A fire ripped through an iconic boat shack at a popular restaurant in Marin County on Sunday, according to authorities.
Just before 5 p.m., Marin County Fire dispatch received a report of a structure fire at Nick's Cove restaurant and cottages. The flames destroyed the boat shack, which was a place for customers at Nick's to gather and have a drink at the end of a pier on Tomales Bay.
No one was inside the shack at the time and the fire was extinguished by 5:30 p.m., county fire officials said. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
