According to RBFRS on twitter the fire spread to 'other boats' and in one photo there looks to be two burnt out hulls. With five injured, four of whom needed hospital treatment means this was a fairly serious event.
I'm not familiar with the Saxon Moorings, but from the pictures on the net it looks like quite a small community.
Not a good day at all.
All very sad indeed.

I spoke to the fire service this morning and managed to get some more details about the incident: http://www.ybw.com/news-from-yachti...ire-after-explosion-on-the-river-thames-11852.
They believe petrol fumes ignited while one of the boats was being refuelled.
