Fishing vessel catches fire in Seattle

Wednesday, September 15 2010

Unalaska, AK – Early Sunday morning, the fishing vessel Arctic Dawn caught fire while moored in Seattle. As of today, there are still no reports regarding the full extent of the damage.

The Arctic Dawn has fished crab out of Unalaska, and it was featured in early episodes of the Deadliest Catch. Ole Helgevold served as the vessel's captain.

The blaze took over 100 firefighters to put out, and reached three-alarm status. Though one person had been on the ship, no one was injured and while the fire spread some to the fishing vessel Kodiak, the fire caused no significant damage beyond the Arctic Dawn itself. The cause of the fire is still undetermined.
