Update, 17 hours and the fires are still not out! Long day for fire crews.
Being trapped by the toxic fumes on a covered dock just scares the. Out of me
.
Always amazed in fires that large, how they can ever determine the cause.

Thanks, still amazing to me. Understand conceptually what an arson investigator does and what they look for. It's just hard to imagine that they can find the correct evidence in such a massive volume of debris.Ted-I have a friend here in Seattle who is a forensic arson investigator, retired from the Seattle FD, he now works for a firm that does insurance investigations. I have talked to him about it one time because I had the same thought as you. How the hell can you figure anything out? It is pretty amazing what they can find. He showed me one huge warehouse fire here several years ago that killed 3 firefighters. Looking at the pics, it was just a massive sodden mess where the building had collapsed from the fire and from about 12 hours straight of water being pumped on it by about 20 firetrucks. Yet they were able to eventually determine where it started, how (arson by a disgruntled employee!), what accelerants were used. All that was used to convict two people of arson and manslaughter. A lot of close observation and a lot of science involved!
We had our much loved Scout 187 Sportfish stored at Sundance. We have been in touch with insurance and will be made whole again but it still does not take the sting out of our loss. We loved that boat.
