Right 45-foot boat gone up in flames, excuse the shaking, a bit of adrenaline going on
here.
Okay well this is the latest, the Broads Authority and the Environmental Agency have all been
down...erm, its a bit of an environmental disaster nightmare because of the boat fire
and the boat is now collapsing and it has a boom around it and they are concerned about
what they are going to do with it.
I believe the Broads Authority or the fire engine has to pay one of these agencies £1000
to have it pumped out, it's an environmental nightmare to be fair and it was only started
because the idiot who owned the boat left the door open on the wood burner and then
decided to go off.
There are four fire engines down here so it's costing the taxpayer a lot of money and for
what I understand the boat is not insured.
You know they took a while to get here considering that they only come from Stalham, well its
only what a mile and a half away.
They have to call them in, don't they?
They come from around the area, don't they?
They have to call them in.
In that case, then, they were quick getting here.
Drag them out of bed and all that, you know?
Was he insured?
No! she might have insured it?
Nah, would not have thought so.
Guarantees you a council flat.
Yeah, that is one way of looking at it.
You see those chaps standing with him at the corner?
yeah.
They have just driven up from Essex to buy the boat.
Buy that boat?
Yeah.
Bet they are happy.
Okay here is the aftermath of the boat fire, as you can see it is a complete and utter
total loss.
The fire started down here, ironically the one thing that caused the fire which was the
wood burner is the only thing that has survived the fire itself apart from a few cleats and
maybe some stainless steel.
It had a bitumen roof which didn't help.
