..this was shot from the corner of One Fullerton....right by the cafe. As you can see here, the little orange dot of the Fireman's Helmet.... They wer spraying water towards the boat.

...this looks like a serious case. The Fireman is donning their respiratory suite.  Looks like its could be an internal engine room type of fire.  Fortunately the fire actually broke out while the boat is alongside the pier.

...as i approached Clifford Pier, I tried to catch this "cool" looking fireman stepping out of the pier towards one of the fire engines.  Behind him is the oxygen tank - looks like he just got out of the burning boat. Although, he's exhausted, he still keep his "all ready" look.

out on the main-road...is a row of fire-engine and this fireman is coordinating the water pump trucks to ensure proper water supply to those at the fire scene - their lives surely depend greatly on him!!.

...here as you can see the row of fire trucks lines up along the main road...all ready for any event of further danger.....

..I was greeted by a long fire hose laid on the floor feeding water to the fire scene....Maybe its Sunday...and not many public around that area. Only a few curious passer by like me came up to the police line to watch.  There were a couple other photographers along the police line.  There were a handful of sailors hanging around wondering what actually happened too....just like me....heheheh....
I took the opportunity to snap some shots of the fireman in action as they stepped into their fire resistant suites and respirators.

...I'm not sure what this device is for boot surely looks like some ventilator system to be used in the scene to help suck out the smoke from the smoky insides of the boat....Its no joke running around in their fire-suit and the large helmet...I have to salute these guys......this looks like one of the fireman who have just completed their turn going into the burning boat.....I kinda like the looks and bright color of their fire suite...I can see the fatigue in their faces as they appear out of the smoke with their face wet with perspiration. 

...tired and exhausted I suppose ..as seen by the facial expression of one of the fireman as he walked away to take a rest after his rounds....Its really great to see the great coordination in this chaotic situation......all taking turns in a systematic manner.

......walking tall with his fire suit, one of the fireman leaving the main fire scene to get back to other tasks out on the fire trucks.....

...staying alive in the smoke....these guys outside used trolleys to transport oxygen tanks .....as the empty ones get replenished outside on the fire-trucks.  The cycle goes on and on ....and on..

...The team work in a rotation manner as you can roughly see in the second photo on the right - they are squatting down waiting in a queue to enter the boat.

...Nobody is around....my watch tells me its 6.15pm....No local public could be seen along the police line.....This is a wide angle shot of the scene.  By now most of smoke seem to be cleared which mean that the fire should have been put-out out.... Bravo-Bravo!!

...this linkage for the fire hose must have experienced many such fire scenes I suppose. It still bear the traditional well proven "T" headed hose connector!!! My mobile phone rang right after I took this photo. My wife who was expecting me to be home by 6pm.....wondered why wasn't I home yet.....haha...i told her what happened and she was surprised...!!! By then, looks like everything was already over as the fireman were now slowing down in their urgency....I guess everything is over and I decided to head back...

....I remembered when I was younger when ladders and axe.....are normally associated to firemans.....In fact they still are now......Passed by two fireman together carrying a ladder.  Right before this, there were two fireman were seen carry a super long axe.....about 1.5 metres lond from its handle end.....probably for a good power swing.....

Right after this....i packed my camera and headed home....and shared the photos with my wife when I reached home...
