0:52 The blaze was brought under control two hours after they arrived on scene. Considering the scope of this incident I'd say first responders did quite well.
it doesnt make sense. the port authority say they acted immediately and yet 30 boats were lost, and yet when the fire service turned up the fire was extinguished within 2 hours. Some smells wrong and it isnt the burnt boats.
Port authority are not fire fighters, probably a few dock hands and a glorified security guards. i would guess they moved what boats they could and didnt try to fight the fire. They also may have had only small hand held fire extinguishers, the average person has a minute or two to get a fire under control after that its grown to big to handle.
It constantly amazes me that whenever there is a fire disaster like this, there are always some heroes that try to either fight the fire or save the boats that are not alight yet. Most ordinary people just stand around with their smart phones filming it, but boat folk get motivated and do their best to ensure that no one is in the boats, put the fire out if they can, or tow away the boats to stop the spread.
@@tamasvarga67 Help the people who are trained fire-fighters to stop the fire spreading and call the emergency services rather than just standing around videoing on their phones and getting in the way. Most people who are trained mariners are also trained in firefighting. All RN personnel do a course at HMS Raleigh on mock-up ships and use real equipment and techniques to put the fires out. I guess that the answer to my question above is that most boat folk are ex-armed forces or professional sailors and they've gone through courses. The important thing is that any of these boats could have people onboard and if they might not be aware that they are in danger, or they might be injured and unable to escape. Boats tend to have a lot of flammable material and so the faster you react to a fire, the better the chances that you will stay alive and save lives.
When we had a fire 🚒🔥 at are Marina We only lost 6 boats. Not saying that lightly it could have been much worse like this fire. Here is the sucky thing. The boat where the fire started ( the man smells fuel in the bulge) goes down to investigate or he was fixing something They just skipped town, filed for bankruptcy, just totally avoided anyway so no loss people could get money from the couple. I really felt bad for the people that lost a boat they probably loved. The marina requires us to have boat fire ( insurance for any loss) and they require the boat leaser of slip to provide them copies each year. After the fire at the marina. And believe me when we got there the whole parking lot was full of Ladder and Engine Rigs. Our FD has a 30 foot moose boat build type modern fire boat, with a big deluge nozzle on the bow. Most of their call outs are for coast guard alerts to mariners. Basically they have taken over the TOW back into the pier for Sunday boaters running out of FUEL I see so many small FDs or Fish & Wildlife cops getting High tech fast emergency boats, that they have basically replaced the CG rolls Anyway I've heard from a Marina employee who I know closely that the other boats that were lost to fire. The owners had to go through their own Insurance. That's why Marina wanted us to show them and have on record Insurance coverage for our own vessel What I hated the most about what Marina did was to lease out slips for temporary stay boaters. Some of these boats were pieces of poo, Po. Bilge pump always running. Using non Marina type plug in for power, boats that just had the woodworking all flaking up. And the people look even more scary. So the marina would let u be a seaworthy boat moor at Marina, but it looks like if there boats start a crain reaction FIRE. It's on me and you the boat owners who lost their boats.
A simple deluge sprinkler system along the quays which would be triggered by heat bulbs on the sprinkler heads setting a diesel pump which would pump sea water over and in between the boats it would be paid for and maintained bt the extra money from marina fees
@wildcountry. maybe a fuseable link instead of a bulb, it would be a deluge system where the pipes are empty until it is needed , maintenence would be important but the insurance companies would make sure of that. I used to fit them over tanker loading bays where hazardous liquids were being transfered to trailers .
I acctually live in troon and was just casually having a look on marine traffic and when i saw that kismet was in troon i was thinking sureley not then went a walk down and right there sat a 400 foot superyacht that is longer and taller than the ferry and ships around it. Crazy
The aerial photo shows many boats that are not on the fire end of the pontoon that are leaking a lot of fuel. even boats tied up to the seawall, and one clear up at the top of the image. it' no wonder why so many boats burned, the water is and was flammable.
That is why I never or rarely allow my sailboat berthing next to motorboats. I have seen over the years many of the motor boats catch fire in marina in the UK and Spain.
So the 10% rule means it costs about 10% of a vessels cost to maintain it? A $300 million dollar vessel would cost $30 million to operate/maintain. I wonder what type of exspenses would add up to $30 million a year. Thats A LOT of money. I understand one wife could cost that in a divorce if you were caught "swabbing the wrong deck" on your superyacht. Lol. Has he ever done an episode breaking down operating exspenses?
That fire looked terrifying! God I hope no one was killed. And, like everyone, I wonder how it got started and how it spread yacht to yacht so quickly? Hmmm...🤔
I was deep sea in the 70s sailed on a government ship that went to Antarctica she was 110 feet long, and you look at these super yachts they are a heck of a lot larger
@southerneruk, And here i was feeling sorry for myself being stuck on a government boat ( can call'em "boat" since i'm a SEABEE ) in the early '70's. Six months during Summer surveying around S.Korea, then a solid week drifting down to Subic Bay, Philippines and spending the Winter surveying around the islands. A 300 foot boat looks alot bigger tied up to the pier than it does out on the briney deep. At 9 knots cruising speed, outrunning a typhoon is laughable. ☆

It's in there. "The Port Authority of Pula reacted immediately, helping to put out the fire and save what could be saved," read an official statement from the Municipality of Medulin
I know it’s super yacht news but to hear you say (about the fire). There were no super yachts involved’. Hurt me. This is because some of us put everything into owning a boat and if it’s lost it is totally devastating. We are not all rich.
some countries have very strict regs about marina fire fighting equipment /// but some a bit lax ....... EU and UK Fire extinguishers must be available if there is a risk for a spreading of fire between the boats. The extinguishers must be able to be used by the boat-crews. Fixed extinguishing equipment should be established in harbours containing 80 boats or more.
Internal combustion vehicles are FAR more likely to burn than EVs, including Diesel and gasoline boats. From Forbes: "Estimates by the Phosphorous, Inorganic & Nitrogen Flame Retardants Association reported 55 fires per billion miles travelled in ICE vehicles and five fires per billion for EVs. A report from AutoinsuranceEX said EVs exhibited 61 times fewer fires per 100,000 sales than ICE vehicles." Internal combustion vehicles are 11 to 61 times more likely to burn than EVs. PLEASE STOP SPREADING FALSE INFORMATION. In addition the Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries that are almost universal in marine use are extremely unlikely to burn, due to their chemistry.
Considering the fierce fires generated by a burning electric vehicle this fire looks suspiciously like an EV fire... Electric boats are watercraft powered by electricity, not gasoline or diesel. They use electric motors and batteries for propulsion and offer sustainable boating alternatives. They are gaining momentum as a clean, efficient alternative to traditional marine vessels.
No owners were reported to jump out of boats to save their lives. The firefighters and nightwatchman had to tow the burning boats away from other boats as their mooring lines burned away and they started to float towards other boats. One yacht had to be beached, even as it was burning.
Oil wars. Think of the owners of mega-yachts and the influence they wield worldwide. In 2001 I worked on a 195’ yacht for a couple of weeks. When I toured the engine room I was told it takes 45 THOUSAND GALLONS of gas to fill the tank! You know the big gas trucks you see at a gas station? Those trucks hold 5,000 gallons…it takes nine of those trucks to fill the tank! Now, think about all the yachts you see up and down the coasts of all the countries in the world and you’ll understand why wars are still being waged over oil…and why those in power continue to squash greener means of energy. BTW - mega-yachts are now 400-500 feet long…imagine how much oil they need?!
I was a Chief Engineer in the 90’s and early 2000’s. They just keep getting bigger and bigger. Just goes to show that money is trickling up!
