No truth to the rumour that it was diesel powered with Volvo outdrives.

'If it wasn't for the response of the fire boats, this whole marina would have lit up,' said Ken Gemmil, Vancouver Fire Department. Three boats were destroyed and seven damaged.

The fire boat was about 1000 feet away at Burrard Civic, I wonder if it was deployed to try to fight this.

They auctioned one off a while ago, which was on the hard at Steveston Harbour Authority a few weeks ago.

Coming to a marketing piece near you.
If the cause of the fire is traced to a brand name furnace will it make any difference?
It will be interesting to read the report when it is released and see what they attribute as the cause of the fire.
To quote from the article
Vancouver firefighters responded to what they described as a “suspicious” fire shortly after 2 a.m.
We all know there are lots of possible causes for a fire. Human error, component failure, arson, a problem at the docks, sales brochures placed next to an electric heater, etc.,etc., the list of possibles is long.
They make boats every day, the boats would have been insured, luckily no one was burned or diedand no firefighters were hurt or injured.
That smoke would have been a toxic cloud of bad news for anyone breathing those fumes unprotected.

So this is where a survey and the reputable name of that company attaches all of the properly written things involved with that survey becomes a thing at the dinner table. Because if it gets down to that, and it's all on paper then there you go.
