GlobalTVBC is reporting:

VANCOUVER – Four pleasure crafts moored at the Westin Bayshore marina were either destroyed or badly damaged Tuesday by a fire that broke out on one of the vessels just before 9 a.m.

Flames 10-metres high could be seen at the height of the fire which rapidly spread from one boat to the next before being brought under control by Vancouver firefighters aboard the department’s fireboat.
