One man was rescued as a twelve meter explorer type cruiser went ablaze to the vicinity of Duwamish Head Light in Elliot Bay, West Seattle, Washington on 12:00 of Sunday ninth December. The man was rescued by a nearby boat, as two US Coast Guards rescue crews came to the scene to fight the fire, and where followed by the Seattle Fire boat 3. The fire was extinguished in about thirty minutes as ultimately the boat was wrecked with the blaze, with its remaining shell towed to Fourmile Rock. Unfortunately though the boat sank before arriving in that desired spot and was surrounded by a protection boon, in order to avoid pollution from its one thousand litres of diesel fuel. The man had no injuries and also refused a medical check up. The cause of the fire is under investigation, with a plan to remove the diesel fuel and salvage the wreck being organized.
The explorer type cruiser in this fire looks to be a Marine Trader 40 Europa as produced from 1978 to 1986.
