in boatyard fire in Gharghur<br />
Nineteen boats were destroyed by a fire in a boat yard in Tal-Balal, near<br />
Gharghur, on the morning of Thursday 1st February, 2018.<br />
The Civil Protection Department said 19 boats and yachts were destroyed<br />
by the blaze, with personnel managing to prevent the fire from spreading<br />
further. The operation to put out the blaze, which is believed to have<br />
started just after midnight, lasted over seven hours involving four officers,<br />
14 fire fighters, and eight fire trucks. 180,000 litres of water and 7,000<br />
litres of foam were used to bring the inferno under control.<br />
The police said that there were no injuries. A man who was on site said<br />
boat owners were seen crying in the boatyard as months of hard work went<br />
up in smoke. MS<br />
