PORT ARANSAS--The Port Aransas Fire Marshal said an electrical problem between two homes is what caused last week's big fire at a private marina.

The blaze started around 3am last Friday near the ship channel. Seven vacation homes worth more than a half million dollars each were destroyed. Two others were partially damaged.

The damage was put at more than $4 million dollars. Most of the homeowners say they plan to rebuild.

Poll

The Corpus Christi City Council has voted to negotiate with the National Swim Center to replace the Coliseum. Do you agree?

  • Yes.
  • No. Just demolish the building.
  • No. Rennovate it and use as a public venue, as it has been.
  • I liked the Brass/Ice Skating Rink idea.
