Arson At SeaWorld? You Heard Right
Written by admin on January 1, 2010
Fire officials said arson is to blame for a fire on the SeaWorld fireworks barge anchored in Mission Bay early Friday.
The fire occurred approximately four hours after a New Year’s fireworks show at SeaWorld.
No one was injured in the fire, which caused about $15,000 in damage, said Maurice Luque, spokesman for San Diego Fire-Rescue.
Officials have not released any suspect information.
Fire was reported on the barge at about 1:20 a.m. It is anchored about 300 yards from the South Shores boat launch, close to SeaWorld and Fiesta Island.
No one was on the barge at the time of the fire and there were no fireworks stored on the ship, according to Luque.
The blaze was contained within 20 minutes of the firefighters arrival.
