Mattapoisett Boat Yard fire

Thank you for fighting that fire and protecting the people that live around there. The fumes must have been extremely toxic, your courageousness and that of your fellow firefighters is greatly appreciated! God Bless and Be Safe Out There!

Unofficial report I heard......fumes from a gas tank that was being replaced ignited. Something all boat owners should be wary of....fuel and electrical system failure or disrepair.

Thank God no one was killed....but there were some severe injuries and property damage in the millions.

I worked all over town back in the seventies and eighties...lovely place and nice people.

Thank you Sir.
I know of one severe injury of the guy who was changing the fuel tank. When the fumes ignighted he may have lost an arm (unofficial)
other than that there were very minor injuries. It sure is a toxic situation when fiberglass, paint, fuel, and any other chemicals are burning.
