Firefighters battle blaze on boats at Picton marina New 7:27AM Thursday Feb 05, 2009
Firefighters have been battling a blaze on three boats at Waikawa Marina in Picton this morning.
The fire started just before 6am and involved three boats, one of which had broken its moorings, a fire service spokesman said.
The fire on the boat which had broken its moorings had since been put out, and the fire on a second boat had been suppressed.
However, the blaze on the third boat was still burning well, the spokesman said.
"We currently have four appliances from the Picton and Blenheim stations in attendance," he said.
"The first call indicated one was in a depth of 38 foot. Whether they were launches or yachts we have no indication at this time.
He said it was not believed anyone had been injured in the fire but an ambulance was attending the scene as a precaution.

No wuddy blunder it involved more than one...the tight berthing in marinas is a conflagration waiting to happen.
Great places for P labs, too.

lol... Live bait works best - normally divers on the end of really big ropes and great big hooks... and maybe an air bag or 3... If we watch the news tonight I might just find out!

Salvage underway on burnt-out Picton boats New 3:21PM Thursday Feb 05, 2009
A salvage operation is underway for three burnt-out boats after a fire today at Waikawa Marina in Picton.
The fire started just before 6am and was out just before 8am.
Two boats had sunk and the third was gutted by the blaze.
Picton Volunteer Fire Brigade deputy chief Rod Thomas said it was too early to say whether the fire was suspicious.
The boat owners were all locals and had been at the marina this morning as firefighters fought the blaze, he said.
No one was injured.
Mr Thomas estimated the cost of the boats at $2.5 million to $3 million, and said the salvage costs were continuing to grow, as barges and cranes took part in the operation.
