Interesting post about one fire boat damaging other docked boats due to it's wake. In the one picture the fire boats seem to be parked way to tight to each other. It just looks to crowded to be safe, Mike.

yeah I also caught one of the reader's comment and it made me think because it was something I never thought of as a safety issue before. The comment read as "fiberglass tanks and 10% ethanol in the fuel". I never considered that a factor, is the reader correct?
