Boat fire Penton Hook Marina

[tomcourtney]

Sad to see a boat burnt out tonight in Penton Hook Marina about 50metres from us.
Looked about 23' sports boat on L pontoon first finger right side. Took fire brigade about an hour to douse the flames. The remains have been towed to another location in the marina to allow inspection of the pontoon.
Got a short video but what upload site should I use to post it?

Very sad indeed. I hope nobody was hurts at least. This time of year, folks are starting to winterise and put heaters on hoard - I wonder if that was the cause maybe.

YouTube or Dropbox would be good sites to upload a video. ...

Fire was well contained with no damage to surrounding boats so well done to the Fire brigade and Marina staff.

I hear the flames were 30 feet high at one point. That was quite a fire. I'd welcome a look at your video if you would be kind enough - you can post it here https://www.boatsafetyscheme.org/contact-us/contact-us-by-email/

As far as I understand it, no one was hurt in the fire which is a real relief in the wake of the fatal fire last week at Hilperton.
