Fishing boat catches fire at Narragansett dock
Crews responded to a massive fire on a commercial fishing boat docked at the Port of Galilee Sunday night. Fire officials say they responded to the docks near State St. around 6 p.m. Saturday to find a fully involved boat fire with flames extending to the docks. “We had been working on it the last couple days, trying to get it ready for commercial fishing,” said Scott Babcock. “I don’t know if the boat is going to be fixable or not,” he continued. Babcock says the boat, the Louis Virginia, is named after his mom. He says his family has owned the boat for around 10 years. Video, photo, >click to read< 07:15
