Fire at Whittier fuel dock injures 2, sinks boat
Girdwood Fire Chief Michelle Weston said that medics evaluated two people who were transported from the scene via LifeMed. Fletcher Morrison, a commercial fisherman who docks his boat at the Whittier Harbor, was in the area when the fire broke out about around 11:40 a.m. He described hearing a bang, then looking out of his vessel to see a boat fueling up at the dock go up in flames. “It happened really quick,” he said. The flames consumed three fuel pumps at the station operated by Shoreside Petroleum, said Whittier Harbormaster David Borg. That has big implications for the city’s commercial fishing fleet, Borg said. >click to read< 21:47
