Boat Breaks Loose From Mooring, Fire Breaks Out

I am now contributing to Mauinow.com
I saw this boat that broke loose from its mooring in Lahaina this morning and got a bunch of photos of it and the Maui fire dept. fighting the fire on it. Luckily it did not explode as some of us thought that it might.

We had rough sea's and kona winds today which made it difficult for MFD to fight the fire.
Because the fire was an internal one they had to wait until the waves would rock the boat towards them so they shoot the water into the hold where the fire was.
