Two People Escape Boat Fire in Great Oak Landing, Chesapeake

Two persons managed to escape a boat fire on a twelve meter sport cruiser at Great Oak Landing marina, Chesapeake, for a fire which was reported at 02:02 time of Sunday twelve June.  The two occupants were awaken by the fire which they tried to turn off with no success, and then abandoned the boat as the blaze intensified.  Chestertown Volunteer Fire Company responded to the blaze with 35 fire fighters, and a fire engine truck.  Ultimately the sport cruiser was engulfed by the blaze and sank, and was then surrounded by a pollution protection boom.  The cause of the fire is not known, though an investigation will be made.
The sport cruiser in this fire is a Cruiser 4270 Express as produced from 1997 to 2003.  The 4270 Express was a replacement to the raised bridge 4285 Express, and was replaced by the Cruisers 440 Express.
