Mattapoisett Shipyard Fires Over 100 Firefighters Respond To Massive Fire At Massachusetts Shipyard

At least four people were injured in the fire, including three firefighters, according to Murray. Over 100 firefighters responded to the blaze. Fire boats were also called in, pumping water from the oceans, he added. Murray said winds played a factor in the fire. “The winds definitely pushed the fire,” Murray said. In all, five buildings were affected by the fire, Murray added. Residents near the marina heard explosions around 1:30 p.m., according to WCVB. Torrey Gibb told CNN he was doing construction work on a nearby home when he heard a loud explosion. He went to where he saw a plume of black smoke and discovered flames tearing through the yard.
Videos taken by Gibb from the shipyard show the fire engulfing boats, burning cars and burning structures. He said he saw at least 15 to 20 cars on fire. Gibb said the flames grew exponentially within 10 minutes. Emergency personnel arrived shortly after, he said. Another video, shot by Gibb from a distance, shows a house on fire with heavy black smoke billowing into the air. Gibb said he could still feel the heat of the fire from about 300 feet away. Rosa Giberti saw the fire from 2,000 feet in the air. Her father was giving her flying lessons when the smoke was detected. Videos she shot herself show many boats and structures burning. He said that within 15 minutes the entire yard was up in flames. The column of smoke was so thick that it cast a shadow on the coast, its videos show. The National Weather Service for Boston detected the plume of smoke on its radar, it said in a tweet. The incident is under investigation.
