The owner of this ship is probably not very happy right now with pensacola. Somebody has to pay for this mess, to clean it up, repair it, and I guess we pay for the firefighters. I hope our fire fighters who were injured are fine this morning and will be fit to work again.. It certainly should have been dealt with as this does not look so good

I can tell u from experience its NOT because the safety protocol's arent up to date and in place. It's because somebody didn't follow them. And I can also tell u from experience, It's been dealt with. Spent the first 27 years of my life around that shipyard.

Shipyard work is a dangerous business with all of the cutting and welding that goes on. Vessels are full of flammable hazards from fuel and lube oil storage tanks, engine spaces, to storerooms full of supplies. It is imperative that good house keeping and safe hot work practices are to be strictly followed in the effort to prevent shipboard fires like this one.
