Pleasurecraft Fire Nanaimo Harbour

 Photo Contributed By: TOM BEBYCK

The above photo was taken at 3:30 pm today by reader Tom Bebyck who contributed this timely picture.

From what I have heard the craft burst into flames as it was coming into harbour, the occupants were rescued by unknown people in a Zodiac, who after removing the people, returned and towed the burning boat out of the path of other vessels.

The fire department attended and fought the fire from the dock and the smoking vessel was moved to an area of the harbour away from all other craft. The cause is not known at this time but the occupants of the Zodiac are being hailed as hero's for their quick and brave action, with the result being a loss of property only.

Kudos to Ted for this great photograph which can be enlarged by clicking on it.
