Boat Fire...

[summerlove]

I've posted these before and as I was looking for a new avatar pic I came across them...
Check them out. The boat is a 24' Campbell and the owners had recently purchased it and had it restored. They were on a "shake down" cruise on Lake Castaic when all hell broke loose....I don't know the owner, but I knew the prior owner. The fuel line cut loose...
The pictures tell the story.
Pic # 1 All is well!

NO INJURIES....
Except maybe the mechanic who forgot to clamp the fuel line on tight...

Too bad there wasn't a jet boat around to put that fire out before it did all that damage
I was first on the scene one day on Berryessa with a ski nautique in full blaze. While I was plucking folks out of the water a jet boat came up and dowsed the fire. Prolly kept the boat from being totalled.

And how did they get on Castaic without a fire extinguisher?? They always check mine

I don't know that I'd be hanging around on the boat with the fire extinguisher... good ad for an automatic system.
