Two boats, car and truck destroyed in Kingston Harbour fire

KINGSTON, Jamaica – The Jamaica Fire Brigade has confirmed that a fire of unknown origin destroyed two motor vehicles, boats and equipment at Kingston Harbour in downtown Kingston, Saturday afternoon, leaving millions of dollars in damage.

“It destroyed two boats, a motor car and a truck. A fireboat was initially deployed to extinguish the blaze but it was not until two fire trucks were deployed that the fire was brought under control,” a representative of the Jamaica Fire Brigade told OBSERVER ONLINE.

It is reported that the fire started about 12:30 pm, close to the property housing the Marine Police and a fireboat belonging to the Jamaica Fire Brigade on Marcus Garvey Drive.

The fire quickly grew out of control before a fireboat was deployed to battle the blaze.
