Holy moly.
It looks like there was a roofing structure - do docks with overhead structures like that typically have any automatic fire suppression? Like sprinkler systems?
Not the ones in my area. They just have fire extinguishers attached to the uprights in various locations. And of course, each slip has a fresh water spigot.
In the installations we develop and manage (NFPA compliant) the sprinkler systems are design to enable people to exit safely not necessarily to save the structure. Better would be heat or IR detectors and horns. Sad loss..Likewise, have never seen (or heard of) a sprinkler system on covered docks..I imagine the cost to install (and maintain) would be cost prohibitive, and I'm not sure how effective it would be....while it's way too early to investigate the cause of this, my guess would be on a space heater.
Nothing like a government operation!!Our covered moorage docks all have a fire suppression system overhead. Money was not a problem when they were built because they were built with public funding.
Usually its no problem gold plating the build, Its maintaining the facility long term that often suffers for 'lack' of funding.Our covered moorage docks all have a fire suppression system overhead. Money was not a problem when they were built because they were built with public funding.
