Note: Same as with ground vehicles: if you park your boat next to other boats then your boat may burn when they catch fire, or theirs may burn when yours catches fire. It's safest to park your vehicle(s) away from anything you don't want to see go up in flames. Unfortunately, most people are unaware of what's going on and they're not taking any precautions, so avoidable damage is occurring (and lives are being lost in some cases), and that will continue until people wake up and start taking the problem seriously...

Quote: "A 2003 Regal Cruiser driven by David Thompson, 45, had just refueled at the 17 mile marker in Pogue Hollow Cove when Thompson attempted to do maintenance in the engine compartment. An unknown spark ignited the compartment causing injuries and damage."
Note: Unknown spark sounds like a 'ghostly match' igniting. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, and rusty iron/steel. But for sparking or sizzling to spontaneously happen, the air mix has to be volatile, and most of the volatility can come from ANY flammable vapor source, like gasoline. Then if there's just a bit of hydrogen sulfide in the air mix, a spark occurs near some electrified copper or rusty iron/steel, and then the air itself explodes into flame. You won't see it coming. It's as if there's am invisible ghost wandering around flicking a match here and there. This is most likely to happen during or right after refueling a vehicle, the exact time when you really don't want there to be a spark. The same problem with the 'ghostly match' will hit people siphoning gas, people making cannabis extract with butane, people making meth with flammable vapors, people applying flooring chemicals which are flammable, gas stoves if there's even the slightest leak, etc. People can take all the precautions they want - no flames in the house, burners off, whatever - and it won't matter if the 'ghostly match' ignites on them...

2013-08-16 - Seven fishing boats destroyed by fire while moored in coastal North Jakarta (Indonesia):
http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2013/08/17/fire-engulfs-seven-fishing-boats-north-jakarta.html
Quote: "He said the fire, which started at 9:30 p.m. on the Cakrawala boat, spread quickly and engulfed seven other boats moored at Muara Baru Pier."
Note: That sounds like eight boats then, but the title says seven. I'll be conservative and go with seven. Also, just like cars, if you park your boat near another boat, you've just increased the risk of your boat being destroyed by fire, because the fire might start in the other boat but still hit yours...

Note: It was actually some containers on the ship that burst into flame. I'm curious what was in those containers, but they didn't specify. Another huge container ship cracked in half and burst into flame the day prior, near Yemen, as mentioned in the 2013-06-18 update...

Note: Also mentioned, a vacant home burning. And all these 'electrical faults' causing fires in non-running vehicles - hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like battery cables and other wiring in vehicles, and electrical cables and wires in underground electrical facilities. It's the same cause behind all the vehicle fires and all the underground electrical fires and explosions...

Quote: "...it appears the ship came under attack - apparently from arsonists."
Note: I suspect this was some hydrogen sulfide blowing in off the ocean, finding some rusty iron or steel nails in the wood holding that ship together, generating a spark which landed on the driftwood which was itself contaminated with one or both gases, and whoosh, fire broke out. In other words, I suspect this was no different than all the pallets and porches and decks bursting into flame lately. They are assuming arson, of course, as usual, because they are ignorant of the problem we face...

Quote: "At about 8 p.m. Tuesday, the Skye Marie, an 85-foot shrimp boat moored at the fueling station on the Anclote River's south bank, caught fire."
Quote: "Longtime residents said that it was one of the worst fires ever seen in the area."
Quote: "A witness, 53-year-old Bill Gresko, saw 5-foot-high flames sprint across the river and ignite a dock on the opposite shore. 'It was almost in an instant,' said Gresko, who has worked as a sponge diver for 30 years and said he had had never seen anything like it. 'For almost half an hour the river was on fire.'"
Quote: "Boat owner Billy Harris of Port Richey told the Times he had just put $18,000 worth of fuel into the boat. He says he has no idea what started the fire. 'There was no power to it,' he said. 'An act of God, I guess.' Harris said he has no insurance for the boat, which is named after his granddaughter."

Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like battery cables on vehicles of all kinds. This is now the 5th event that I know of involving a motor or vehicle starting itself. This may be because a fire involving hydrogen sulfide's reactivity with copper might melt away insulation on wiring and the vehicle then basically 'hot-wires' itself and starts its own engine. And then you end up with a 'ghost vehicle' starting itself and moving around on its own, quite possibly while it's burning, as in this case...

http://www.vancouversun.com/news/world/Alabama+fuel+barges+explode+catch+fire+hospitalized+with+burns/8291604/story.html
Quote: "The initial blast took place in a ship channel near the George C. Wallace Tunnel — which carries traffic from Interstate 10 under the Mobile River, Vega said. The river runs south past Mobile and into Mobile Bay, which in turn flows into the Gulf of Mexico."
Quote: "A crew that was cleaning fuel barges in Mobile Bay likely caused a spark the triggered an explosion and critically burned three workers."
Note: When was the last time a spark from a cleaning crew caused two fuel barges to explode? Oh right, NEVER. Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with copper, especially electrified copper, like that in machinery that might be used by a cleaning crew. So, some hydrogen sulfide hits some electrified copper, a spark is generated, which ignites whatever hydrogen sulfide and/or methane is blowing around, and that causes a fire, and that ends up resulting in both barges exploding and burning. So, they're probably telling the truth, in a sense, but not ALL of the truth. That's the best way to perpetrate a lie, by the way - mix in enough truth to sell the story, so you can slide the deception right on by beneath whatever element of truth you throw in as a coating...
