A fire that tore through a boat dock in Alabama early Monday has left at least eight people dead, officials say. The fire destroyed the B dock, about 50 yards from the A dock where the boat of Mandy Durham and her boyfriend is moored. "We woke up hearing screams and popping noises," Durham told the Associated Press. But then the flames spread to that boat, leaving water as their only way out, Durham said. The park where the dock is located includes a boat ramp, a dock and a restaurant, and offers boat rentals, according to Jackson County's government website.
