    Amazing rescue of an elderly woman from one of the two boats.

    That looks like the slip I was in last fall. Glad I'm not there today. Hope all are ok.

    The fire company did a nice job of saving the woman.

    Probably electrical like most fires.... Shore power inlets are often the source.

    Yes, gotta keep those receptacle connections clean and secure. Otherwise too much resistance which means heat then fire.

    If the receptacle gets hot it will not set the breaker off ? I have been at some marinas where power box on the dock has no breaker in it is a direct feed to the boat.

    I suppose it depends on what happens first. Fire or electrical short. The latter will (should) trip the breaker
