A fire in a 110 ft fishing trawler was reported at 10:16 a.m. this morning at 653 NW 41st St.

The fire started after the crew were making welding repairs in the galley. The fire quickly spread up through the ceiling and into smaller crawl spaces and wheel house. The crew tried to put out the blaze but could not and evacuated. There were no injuries reported.

Over 20 units and more than 60 personnel arrvived on the scene. There was moderate smoke and fire fighters knocked down the fire in less than 25 minutes. They are now looking for "hotspots" or hidden parts of the fire that could be smoldering.

Kyle Moore, information officer with SFD, said these types of fires are the most dangerous and that's why there were so many units called.

"A fire like this can cause a lot of damage and spread quickly because of how close the ships are. ... The ships are like big steel ovens that get extremely hot and can quickly cause big problems kind of like a forest fire does," said Moore.

SFD will continue to look for hot spots which, according to Moore, can take a long time.
