Surprised no one posted the 50 Dancer fire?

Rob..........that looks like it may take a bit of fiberglass work now. You going to handle that? :wink: :smt043
 
The nice SeaRay next to it may have an issue cleaning the canvas....You know that smell when you're out in the evening around the campfire and you go to bed and you can smell the smoke in your hair? (Well for me since I don't have much hair so I have to smell the Admiral's, but you get the point. ) That boat next to this one will not have the smell I'm talking about. That may take awhile to get clean and gone.

That's a Shame. Your Brothers and Sisters at ClubSearayDOTcom hope that you're insured and no-one was hurt.

SEATTLE - Coast Guard Group/Air Stati... SEATTLE - Coast Guard Group/Air Station Port Angeles, Wash., began this year's boating season responding to a call about a vessel fire and explosion in the vicinity of Pillar Point and a separate report of a partially submerged vessel near Burrows Bay today.

Group Port Angeles received a report at 12:40 p.m. of a vessel fire midway between Port Angeles and Neah Bay, Wash., near Pillar Point. The one confirmed person onboard was rescued by a crew onboard West Coast One, a Canadian whale watching vessel, after being in the water for 20 minutes. He was then airlifted and transported to Olympic Medical Center by a Coast Guard HH-65C Dolphin helicopter crew.

There is no further information available on the status of the person who was medically evacuated or information pertaining to his vessel.

Sector Seattle, the Department of Ecology and the National Response Center were notified of possible pollutants in the vicinity of the incident and the scene will be investigated.

I was wondering why there was no effort to move the boats next to the one on fire. We've had several marina fires in the NW where the fire literally lept from boat ot boat.

I'd imagine part of the problem with moving boats away from a problem is liability and salvage issues.

If I cut your boat loose and move it away from the fire, but it gets damaged in the process (perhaps hitting other boats in the process) then whose liability is it? The boat that started the fire? Yours? Or mine? I'm guessing it'd be my liability risk. If I did it without damaging anything the owner would be grateful, but if in the process of keeping their boat from burning to the waterline I managed to scratch it I'm sure they scream bloody murder demanding I pay for it. So you can imagine my hesitation.

Then there's the salvage question, if I "save" their boat from likely destruction I'm sure they'd likewise howl with complaint when I file a salvage claim for tens of thousands of dollars (as salvage laws would allow).

Either way I'm faced with the risk of considerable legal expenses fending off the stupidity of the boat owner. Trying to sue ME for merely trying to help.

So, it's damned if you, damned if you don't.
 
The fire department was right there, personally there is no way I would put myself between boats on fire, boats can be replaced.
 
Fire happened after closing ... customer working on there boat notified FD.

No injuries... all that matters

I agree, but If that's my boat now full of smoke, I think I will be talking to the fire victims insurance co. and/or sick my insurance co on theirs. :huh: It may be impossible to eliminate the smoke damage/smell
