Cobourg Fire Department attended the Cobourg Marina after a wooden flower pot caught fire on the centre pier on Wednesday, September 30, 2020.
Marina staff called the fire department at approximately 1:44 p.m. after discovering the fire that appeared to have been burning for several hours.
Marina staff extinguished the fire before fire crews arrived.
Cause is believed to have been a discarded cigarette which caused the peat moss to smolder and catch the wood on fire.
