A condo boathouse burned in Bellngham Harbor three (I think) years ago. All 20 boats in the boathouse burned and sank and a liveaboard couple burned to death while calling for help on their mobile phone because they could not get out of their boat. Cause was an old and severely overloaded electrical system in the boathouse.
One result was the Port of Bellngham instituting a sprinkler requirement for all boathouses in the harbor.
