| 1271.1 | Brushfire | VIA::RUDY | | Wed Jul 05 1989 17:31 | 5 |
| I waqs not there myself but I heard from another boat that it was
actually the brush on fire not any boats. The fire was set off by
some fireworks deployed privately from boats.

| 1271.2 | Fire ? | NBC::CARVER | John J. Carver | Tue Jul 11 1989 15:13 | 8 |
| I was in Cuttyhunk Tuesday and saw no evidence of a fire, nor was
anyone talking about one. Tuesday evening there were LOTS of fireworks
(although the fog obscured most of them) so there apparently wasn't
any attempt at inhibiting the festivities.

| 1271.3 | Flames were quite high at one point | SHIPIT::MCBRIDE | | Tue Jul 11 1989 18:33 | 8 |
| We were ashore with some folks from another boat to light some of
our own fireworks away from the crowded anchorage and noticed quite
a large blaze towards the inner harbor. It appeared that there
were lots of folks scurrying around trying to put it out. It finally
died down quickly after burning vigorously for several minutes.
Did notice a few boats leave the harbor at the same time. Just
curious.

| 1271.4 | Carelessness | MKTLAW::PRUCHA | | Wed Jul 12 1989 14:57 | 13 |

We were moored in the Inner Harbour and witnessed the incident.
Apparently, some boaters were careless and shot some fireworks off
in the wrong direction, and they landed in the brush/grass near
the inner part of the channel. At first we thought it was a barnfire
in connection with the large boat party being held at the pier directly
across the channel. But the next thing we new, it was rapidly being
extinguished. Tuesday morning, while leaving the harbour, we saw
the large burnt and charred area where the fire had taken place.
The "townies" were angerly chatting it up in town that morning.

| 1271.5 | Fire on the North Shore? | MCS873::KALINOWSKI | | Mon Jun 13 1994 11:56 | 8 |
| Saturday, while starting to head out of Salem Ma, I heard a frantic
distress call on 16 about a boat fire. It sounded close, though I
didn't see any smoke. About 11:20 some salvage company was asking the
Coast Guard for Loran Coordinates for the boat as it evidently sunk.
Anyone hear more about this?
