That's sad. My condolences go out to everyone involved.

Sad indeed. Bilge blower failure or not on maybe?

The title I used is misleading since the boat was not actually at the fuel dock just close to it and the flames spread to the fuel dock and other boats. Nobody knows what actually occurred but with limited resources available to boaters wanting to launch or service, I would not be surprised if some work was done by the owner that just was not done properly. Whatever it was there was a lot of gas not just a dribble as the article does refer to someone being blown into the air which I assume is the deceased.

Sad to hear. Not the way for a boat to end its career.
