| 摘要： | Afire that erupted on a barge in Delaware Bay in May that kept the Coast Guard, fireboats and environmental agencies busy for hours was finally extinguished by firefighters and the Coast Guard. Northstar Environmental and Marine Services was contracted to assess the integrity of the barge and manage salvage operations. Once the fire was out, a Coast Guard 87′ patrol boat monitored the situation and enforced a safety zone, which prohibiting anyone from entering unless authorized by the Captain of the Port of Delaware Bay. A 500-yard safety zone was created around the barge and the Northstar Independence, the contractor's 185′ salvage vessel. Had the fire reignited, Northstar Independence had firefighting capabilities onboard. No sheening or discoloration was observed on the waterway. The barge was carrying discarded household appliances and scrap metal when the fire was reported, according to the Coast Guard 5th District. Located about nine miles off Port Mahon, Del., the fire illuminated the night sky for miles around. |
