HENRICO COUNTY, Va. — Henrico Fire crews were called to fight a boat fire in the James River Tuesday morning. Crews responded to the river, about half a mile from Deep Bottom Park, at about 10:45 a.m., according to Henrico Fire spokesman Capt. Danny Rosenbaum.

A man on the boat saw smoke coming from the front of the vessel and turned the boat around to bring it back to the dock. No one was hurt.
