Three Yachts Wrecked by Fire at Spit Bridge Marina, Sydney

Three yachts from twenty to 28 meters in length were wrecked by fire, with a fourth yacht also sustaining important damage at Spit Bridge Marina, Mosman, a suburb located to the North of Sydney with the blaze starting on the first yacht before 03:30 morning time of Friday ninth January.   Fire and Rescue NSW responded to the blaze with forty fire fighters, fighting the fire from both land and sea including the fire fighting vessel Girawaa, and taking near three hours to control, and were followed by NSW Police and NW Ambulance.  Four people escaped the fire unharmed, while a woman was treated for smoke inhalation and is under observation.  By the videos running online the fire started in a smaller yacht about twenty meters in length, which then jumped to two Sunseeker yachts located to its port and starboard sides.  All the three yachts ended sunk and wrecked, with the fire also damaging a Princess yacht to its port side, this berthed one boat away and to starboard from the starting fire yacht.  The cause of the fire is not reported, with an investigation being opened to determine the cause.  Pollution from the fire is reported controlled and to a minimum, with salvage efforts taken over by the marina operator.  
The yachts wrecked by this fire are a Sunseeker 80 Yacht, and a Sunseeker 94 Yacht.  The yacht which sustained damage to its port side is a Princess 85 MY.  The smaller yacht which started the fire is not identified, if some one has information leave a comment or send a message.
