Fox 5 News's chopper guy referred to North Hudson Fire/Rescue's fire boat as "the poor little fire boat".  They were having a rough time getting in postition and getting water on the fire.
Last I saw FDNY was on scene getting ready to flow water.
Only good thing was it's off season and the marina wasn't full, otherwise they would have lost a bunch of boats.

Are the boats in the water or on dry dock?

One of the boats was owned by A NYC doctor and he was at work. The other boats owner saw his boat catching on fire on the news and ran for his life.

We were watching it at the firehouse this morning at shift change and commenting..."can you imagine waking up, turning on the news and realizing that's your boat".
