I need the Garden State Fire Department to report to the Bay Lake State Park Marina. We've got a boat that seems to be about to catch on fire. I've been smoking for 9 to 10 minutes. It's northeast of the Bay Lake State Park Marina.
00:41
Ridge, are you still on the phone with them by chance?
00:44
Affirmative. If they have not done, so can you have everyone get live jackets on?

Sorry about that, Ridge, two echo, or, uh, three, echo, four, 11.

Do we know if this is only reachable by the fireboat or if we need fire trucks?
01:26
It looks to be roughly...
01:29
three-fourths a mile directly northeast of the marina, so I don't think a land vehicle would be able to reach it.
01:37
And they're not sure that it's going to catch fire at this point, but it's still smoking.
01:42
Copy, do you know if they've already used a fire extinguisher or anything on it yet?
01:46
Yep, we've got our fire extinguisher handy.

Hey, firefighters, just get on the boat so the cops don't get back on.

We're asking questions while en route.

They have a fire extinguisher available, but they have not used it yet.
