the scene after a long night to check out the destruction.
The State Fire Marshall's Office ISU
(Incident Support Unit) responded to the scene in the morning and served as
a base for investigators for two
days. The vehicle is equipped with sophisticated communications and
support
equipment.

The sterns of several boats were
damaged severely, but the boats survived. These were the boats on side 1
that
were involved in the early photos of
the fire.
