He had his ship at the yard since June for modernizations, and the works should be completed by the end of September. Arntzen was on the deck and painted as he saw smoke coming from a door from the accomodation block to the main deck. He climbed off the vessel to cool the hull with a water hose, but quickly had to flee due to the fierce smoke and raised alarm."

Quote: "Nobody was injured in the fire that was reported about 12:30 a.m. Sunday, according Grand Haven Public Safety Director Jeff Hawke. The first boat was fully involved in fire when firefighters arrived and strong winds out of the east caused the fire to spread quickly, igniting two other boats, Hawke said. The fires were extinguished by about 2:30 a.m., he said. The next boat, a 46.6-foot Bertram Sportfish, sustained extensive heat and water damage. Owner Bob Brown of Williamston said he believed that boat would be considered a total loss."

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/manitoba-selkirk-paddlewheel-princess-fire-1.4109432

Quote: "Selkirk Fire Chief Craig Fiebelkorn said the fire was suspicious and took crews two hours to put out from the safety of the shore. 'Well, at the time, there was nothing other than a malicious act could start the boat on fire. There was no electricity going to it, there was no lightning storm that night or nothing,' Fiebelkorn said. 'It's just a process of deduction, someone probably fooling around.'"

Note: Anything flammable and adsorbent on the boat? Like the wood it's made from? Anything rusty on it? I'm sure there was. Nothing wrong with deductive logic, but he's starting with assumptions that were true in the past but are no longer true, because he's unaware of what's going on with this planet now. That leads to erroneous conclusions. Maybe it WAS arson, but he hasn't eliminated accidental causes; he just THINKS he has. The fire commissioner he's called in doesn't know what's going on either, so his conclusions won't be any more reliable...

http://megayachtnews.com/2017/04/two-fires-port-forum-barcelona/

Quote: "A fire started the morning of April 9th at the Port Forum in Barcelona. The fire sank six yachts and damaged four others, all ranging from 19 meters (62 feet) to 23 meters (75 feet) in length, according to reports."

Quote: "A significant fire this morning led to the sinking of several yachts at Port Forum in Barcelona. Just hours later, a second fire in the same area caused two more yachts to sink."

Note: So maybe more than ten yachts burned combined, from both fires, but I'll just leave it at ten to be conservative...

Quote: "Authorities said about 30 tractor-trailers, as well as fuel and propane tanks, burned. Several vehicles parked on the other side of a fence also caught fire."

Quote: "Among the vehicles that affected were tow trucks, box trucks, 18-wheelers and at least one boat. Officials have not specified exactly how many vehicles were affected, but according to reports, possibly two dozen cars and about 10 or 11 tractor trailers were destroyed."

Note: About 6 miles from the coast. From what I could see, the latter quote is more accurate. Not 30 big rigs, but more like 10 or so, plus a bunch of other trucks and semi trailers, plus many smaller vehicles - lots of cars, SUVs, at least one minibus. Didn't see the boat but the smoke blotted out visibility pretty quickly, so I'll take their word on that...

Quote: "A tour ship went on fire on Monday night in Vietnam’s scenic Ha Long Bay, forcing two guards to leave the ship but they were safe. The fire broke out in the cabin at midnight when the wooden boat was docking at the Tuan Chau International Port, but the two crew members managed to escape."

Quote: "The fire extends a series of similar incidents in the bay in the past year."

Quote: "This is the third fire on wooden boats since the beginning of this year and the 14th boat fire in almost seven years on Ha Long Bay."

Note: So 11 boats went up in flames in the 7 years prior to 2017, but now 3 boats have gone up in flames since the beginning of 2017. That's serious escalation, so both buses AND boats are increasingly going up in flames in Vietnam. That's true of other places too, of course, since this is a planetary extinction event, not a regional problem...

Quote: "A boat and car inside the shed were damaged but no one was injured. The damage bill was estimated at $300,000 and the cause traced to an overheating electrical item in the boat."

Note: So the URL was misleading and the boat fire wasn't arson. The other fire, a burning minibus, might not have been arson either for that matter, since I highly doubt they eliminated accidental causes like hydrogen sulfide's reactivity with copper, especially electrified copper. Wee hours, coastal city, vehicles going up in flames...
