UPDATE: The Kosciusko County Emergency Management Agency reports runoff from Thursday's fire at Main Channel has necessitated the use of hydrophobic booms to absorb oils and hydrocarbons on the surface of the water south of the marina.

Officials ask that you do not disturb the booms or run over them with a boat.

The booms are described as red and white.

Officials say the booms will be removed by IDEM in a few days.
