The Warsaw fire department had a busy night Tuesday and early morning Wednesday attending an unusual fire.

An old barge that at one time had been an active restaurant in Montrose, Iowa caught fire.

The barge had been run aground just outside of Warsaw at the Egley Campground.

Because of its location, Warsaw firefighters couldn't get water to the barge and had to let it burn down.

The barge had no electricity.

An investigation into the cause of the fire will be conducted in the next few days.
