Fire Destroys Multiple Boats in Fiumicino Tiber River Boat Yard

A fire in a boat yard at Col Moschin street by the Tiber river in Fiumicino, Italy, was started on 05:30 of Tuesday 24 September.  The fire was reported to start from the outside of the three thousand square meters boat yard, and then interested a close shed and destroyed about ten boats.  Vigili dell Fuoco from Fiumicino intervened for the fire with three fire fighting squads, two fire-engines, a foam truck, a ladder truck, with local municipal police also intervening at the scene.  Col Moschin street and the Tiber river adjacent to the boat yard was also temporary closed to control the fire.  The blaze was reported fully extinguished at about 18:30 hours. Arpa Lazio and Asl were also summoned to control the risk of pollution and the air quality in the area.  No details were reported how the fire started, beside that it started from a boat outside, with an arson suspect of criminal nature also being considered as a nearby boat yard suffered a similar fate just over four months ago on the thirteen May.  No injuries were reported from the fire.
The boats in this fire are reported to be about ten, with a Salpa 385 Laver, pictured above to the right appearing to be one of the largest involved.  The Salpa 385 Laver was presented in 2004 as flagship model for the Naples builder, with its hull based on the Sonny Levi and Franco Harrauer designed Laver from the eighties.  Produced from 2004 the 385 Laver will evolve into the 395 Laver in 2010, added with a T-top protecting the cockpit deck.
