Boats destroyed in boat club fire :-(

Looking at the photo it looks like a boat on fire at each end of the mooring. black smoke at the right hand side and white near the left hand end.

A bad boat fire will melt, or burn through the mooring lines, setting it adrift and turning it in to a fire ship on flowing water like there. Or could be arson, as @Feeby100 suggests. The close packing in many marinas will let a fire spread from boat to boat, as happened in Stone in 2009. For those that remember the Narrowdog books.

The river is now reopened.

 

According to Facebook boat caught fire, no mention of arson, mooring ropes burnt through and boat drifted down catching the next boats in line. Was eventually fended off and drifted down beyond the boat club moorings before extinguished.

That would be the end one I mentioned with black smoke I expect.

Not sure what Michael Elphick and motorbikes has to do with this?

 

Boom was a TV Series starring Elphick.

 

A boom was used to manage the after effects of the fire.
