Fire in Westport

A fire erupted on board of the "Juno" while she was docked in Westport, Washington, early in the morning of Dec 28, 2013. Westport Fire Department personnel contacted watchstanders at Coast Guard Station Grays Harbor in Westport for assistance fighting the fire. Two 47-foot Motor Life Boat crews were launched to respond. The fire was reported out at 4:05 a.m. There was thought to be approximately 5,000 gallons of firefighting water aboard, with 4,5 to 5 feet on deck, causing the vessel to list. Members of the incident management division from Coast Guard Sector Columbia River in Warrenton, Ore., were dispatched to the scene to monitor the removal of the firefighting water and mitigate any potential environmental hazards caused by the vessel. The cause of the fire was under investigation.
