I am on a I-Pad and there is no video in the link you posted, only text and a single pic. Have I missed something?

Electrical short circuit?

Lots of fires recently

With no shore power and the battery isolator turned off how do these fires start.

One of them was because the owner was melting lanolin for his prop on the galley stove, but forgot about it. Basically a chip-pan fire.

Dunno about the others.

Bilge pump or wiring?

Why did they take the tisk of fire fighting? Could have kept away and let it burndown and sink?

I guess its good practice in both senses of the word...
