Thread: Marina fire

  1. #1

    Marina fire

    This happened this morning at the marina where we have our boat stored for the winter.

    https://www.timesunion.com/news/arti...t-16790812.php

    The guy that runs the yard there was badly injured and airlifted to the hospital.

    Great dude, what a terrible thing.

    Our boat is probably 200' from the building that was on fire, with 3 or 4 rows of other boats in between.

    Will head down there in an hour or two and check it out, if possible.

    Not good!

    Really sorry to see. It sounds like the guy that was hurt was burned really badly. That is a tough row to how. It happened to a friend of mine years ago when he was cleaning a magneto in a parts cleaner and it sparked.

    Yes, I don’t have the full picture but it appears the radius of damage is reasonably small and while a few boats were damaged, it’s not like the yard went up or anything.

    People have been donating to a fund for him too, which is also good.

    Yes, My prayers and wishes to those injured.
    I was responding to his comment about going down there to check on it.

    If I was speaking to those injured or related to the those injured, I wouldn't be talking about property. You really seem to have it in for me for some reason. What have I ever done here except to try to help others out? I don't know what your problem is Ralph.

    And I didn't read the article because I don't have access without an account with that website. So I had no idea about any of it except what was posted here.
