Fire Devastates Floating Restaurant | Concord News

A fire erupted Saturday afternoon on “The Dive,” a floating restaurant and bar anchored at Smalls Cove, sending multiple fire crews and state police scrambling to contain the blaze. Though no civilians were hurt, one firefighter suffered minor injuries. Investigators point to the kitchen’s exhaust system and hidden spaces above the cooking line as likely ignition points — areas that may have evaded routine safety checks. The fire’s unusual location on a moving vessel adds complexity, with water conditions and boat traffic complicating rescue efforts. The boat has been towed for further investigation, while owners, devastated by the loss, have launched a fundraiser to rebuild — honoring the community hub that hosted countless memories.
