When bad goes to worse

Fire happens occasionally onboard boats, and when it does, the outcome is generally fairly bad.  Last week was another example of how serious a fire can be.

This started on one yacht early in the morning, and as there was most likely nobody onboard, the fire grew quickly (you hear the cameraman say within ten minutes) which is incredible.  It engulfed three boats (one to starboard, two to port), and all are completely destroyed.

Nobody was hurt which is the best news, however it goes to show how important fire safety is.
