Fire on Yacht Reveals Dangers of Boating
With the summer holidays coming to a close, many people are savoring the last days of the season out on the water. It's easy to forget how dangerous watercraft can be when there's fish to be caught and fun to be had. Thankfully, these two boaters were able to contact the Coast Guard and were rescued before the fire got out of hand. Still, fire is always scary, especially when you're out to sea.
It will be particularly interesting to learn in the accident report how and why the fire got started in the first place. The engine room of any boat, yacht or ship can be a dangerous place, so it's not surprising that the fire broke out there. As a personal injury attorney, I know all too well how quickly accidents can happen on even the nicest of personal yachts.
