I am not a fan of that shrink wrap. Fire, fiberglass, and gas...never a good combo..I'll take a boat cover any day!

Was down at the marina and heard essentially the same, although I heard it was the canvas cover which actually caught fire. A boat on the first or second level had work performed. Sounds like they had to remove shrink wrap from around the motor to perform the service. In the process of replacing the section of shrink wrap removed, when they went to heat the wrap with a torch the canvas ignited and they lost control of the fire. As reported, I also heard 12 boats were either damaged or destroyed. Thanks to the response time of many emergency crews, a more significant catastrophe was averted. Many respondents to the accident commented if the fire happened during yesterday's high winds the entire marina and surrounding buildings would all have been at risk. Thank God no one was hurt or killed and the damage was limited to 12 boats, could have been significantly worse if not as mentioned for the quick response time of many. Many thanks for their efforts.
Captnvinny just curious from your post, what or who is y-days wind. Is that a company or type of shrink wrap?
