Massive Fire Destroys Marine Businesses on Launceston Waterfront

0:00In Sydney, it's March 4th, here's what is happening. A huge fire overnight wiped out three marine businesses on Launceston's waterfront, with police putting the damage at more than $5 million. Fire crews raced to the scene in central Launceston just three minutes after the alert, but the flames had already torn through one building and, leap to the second story, the blaze then jumped to a neighboring spot called Almas, Australia, and an attached slipway warehouse, leaving all three structures in ruins. Thirty firefighters battled the inferno for two hours before getting in under control, facing big hurdles from limited access to city water lines. Instead, they pumped water directly from the Tamar River to douse the flames, highlighting the tough conditions in that busy riverside area. DNA is brought to you by our sponsor.
