A fire broke out Thursday at a boat marina in the far north suburbs that sustained about $12 million in damages in another fire just last month. <\/p>\n<p>The fire swept through Skipper Buds boat sales warehouse, at 215 Nortpointe Dr. in Winthrop Harbor just off Sheridan Road, near the Wisconsin border. <\/p>\n<p>Skipper Buds bills itself as &#8220;the largest marine dealer in the Midwest.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The marina also caught fire on Feb. 15, striking one of several large steel-clad buildings where boats are stored for winter on trailers. <\/p>\n<p>The 4-11 alarm fire took six hours to extinguish. Twenty different fire departments were sent to the scene. <\/p>\n<p>According to Scott DeSoto, commodore of the club, only four boats suffered severe damage in the Feb. 15 fire. &#8220;By 9:00 AM Saturday, many Skipper Buds customers had already received personal phone calls and emails from Dennis Ellerbrock and or Skipper Buds staff,&#8221; he wrote on the club&#8217;s web site. <\/p>\n<p>But damage was estimated at $12 million. <\/p>\n<p>Officials said that fire appeared to be accidental. Further information about the latest fire on Thursday was not immediately available. <\/p>\n<p>The Lake County News-Sun&#8217;s Frank Aberholden contributed to this report. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Source: CBS 2 Chicago<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get the latest Flash Player to see this player.
