Oh man, that's too bad. There's some nice looking boats there and the fire equipment being used would barely put out a campfire. Let's hope they can at least save the other boats because the ones on fire are a total loss.

What horrible pictures. As we all know.......more than likely FULL fuel tanks in most of them. I guess the only bright spot is that they were not occupied so no lives were lost.

They had it on our local news last night. The thing I find weird is they complained about lack of water. I can't believe they aren't setup to pull water from the harbor.

The fire had made late breaking news here in southern California as well. I guess one of the local news crew team members likes boats too.:cool:

Always scarey to see boats on fire.. once they get going like that there really is no saving them. :( Had a similar incident at a local marina here a few years back, 2 35-40' boats went to the bottom, and a third was badly damaged. I ended up checking out one of the big burned out boats at a local wrecking yard a few months later.. just shame to see..
