Anyone know how it started?

Some guy said it was started by a propane tank when I was there but I don't know for sure.

oh my lord.....

what a sight...

oo...

planned? anybody have info

dammnnn...wonder what happend

is that the templeton street bridge?

it's called collecting on insurance

No that's the Morey Channel Bridge that connects to Sea Island Way. This fire was at the marina at the Delta Hotel off Russ Baker.

wow, what time did all of this happen?

shiiiit.. thats gotta suck, at least you got a nice shot of it :p

that sucks

Whoa, nice shot

good quality photo,
what camera?

D70s. I took the shot at around 4-5pm.
This was my favorite shot of the boat. Still sucks for the owner of the boat. I believe the news said a gentleman and his dog were on the boat at the time but I don't think anyone died.

RICHMOND (NEWS1130) - One person has been slightly injured in a boat fire in the middle arm of the Fraser, near the Delta hotel.

Richmond's Acting Fire Chief Ron Beamon says the boat has been destroyed.

"It was fully involved and it was a 40 foot boat that the super structure was burning. The super structure is the area above the deck line."

He says one person was taken to hospital with superficial burns. There's no early word on a cause or whether the fire is considered suspicious.

Critiquing the photo FTW :D

whoa!

i'd hate to be the adjuster/insurance company involved in this claim..

Yah i saw this on the way back from school (langara) to richmond.

On crossing over the Arther Laing my friend said something about those weird clouds. As we got closer i thought "those clouds are dark, bet somethings on fire"

Then we got distracted cause there was an accident on the bridge, some Lordco delivery car driver rearended a corolla.

As we were getting to the end of the bridge we saw the fire and the billowing smoke from the marina.

brutal.

holy SHIT

nice pics man good find sucks for the boat owner

Yeah, sucks for the boat owner...

If I owned one of the boats nearby, I'd be freaked out!

he prolly slept with his boss' girl
