A BOAT FIRE THAT WAS DISCOVERED AT 3:20 AM Pacific Tuesday morning at a Seattle marina, has spread to at least two other craft. When firefighters arrived on the scene they found a 30- to 50-ft. pleasure boat aflame and two adjoing boats starting to burn.
As they were cutting other boats adrift to isolate the fire, two firefighters and one police officer all fell into the icy Lake Union. All three were quickly recovered. The fire response has been elevated to two alarms, but no information yet on how many boats are burning.
Update: This video report on the fire by KOMO-TV has just been filed:
Update #2:
An employee at Sundance Yacht Sales where the fire occurred said that three boats were burned, lengths given as 39-, 48-, and 57-ft. The total damages to the three craft and the dock is estimated to be $2 million.
