Explosion Reported as Firefighters Battle Blaze on Navy Ship – NBC 7 San Diego
I'm watching live updates on TV and I'll this ship is really burning hard. It's now emitting a very thick plume of dark black smoke along with a couple plumes of gray smoke. Thank God all crew members have been accounted for that there are thus far no reported fatalities. But I think there is some concern that this ship is at risk of being a total loss if they can't bring these fires under control soon.
n explosion erupted as a roaring blaze was reported on a military assault ship at Naval Base San Diego Sunday morning, according to authorities.
Plumes of smoke arose from USS Bonhomme Richard as firefighters battled the three-alarm blaze on the 3400 block on Senn St. The vessel is an amphibious assault ship homeported in San Diego, according to Krishna Jackson of Naval Base San Diego.The ship had undergone a regular maintenance cycle before the fire was reported, Jackson said. Crew members typically are aboard the ship on weekends, but there are fewer than there are on weekdays.
Federal firefighters requested assistance from the San Diego Fire Department at about 9 a.m. All SDFD personnel has been accounted for as of 11:19 a.m., the department said.
