‘Deadliest Catch’ boat engulfed in flames in Seattle
9/29 – Seattle, Wash. - The Arctic Dawn, previously a crabbing vessel featured on the Discovery Channel’s series “Deadliest Catch,” caught fire around 2 a.m. PDT Tuesday morning.
More than 100 firefighters immediately responded to the scene, where they fought the fire from the pier and also from a police boat and a fireboat. Fire crews were able to contain the fire and kept it from spreading to the nearby fishing vessel Kodiak.
The ship’s captain was asleep onboard when the fire started. The Seattle Fire Department reports that the smoke woke him up and he escaped. No injuries were reported during the blaze. Most of the fire was confined to the superstructure of the ship, above the water line. The cause of the fire is being investigated.
