Posted July 12, 2020 3rd alarm. Been going on since about 8:50AM. Federal Fire requested assistance. The ship is: USS Bonhomme Richard. I am seeing live feed from copter and it does not really look to me like they have a handle on it at all. Picture is the resources SDFR has listed on it. ~Rescue51 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 13, 2020 I learned of this via Twitter, and last check, 21 injuries, but no deaths at that point. Interesting resource list. Some of those designators I don't recognize. Are battalions 33, 53, and 57 from FFD? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) Fire was declared out by the Navy yesterday or today. Other bases that responded personnel and equipment were Twenty-nine Palms AGCC, El Centro NAF, Ventura FFD, Miramar , and Camp Pendleton Fire. The navy reported 400 firefighters at scene including military personnel. the Chief of Naval Operations is going to San Diego to inspect the ship, and there are two concurrent investigations underway.

Posted July 17, 2020 I understand the military firefighters were pulled off the ship this morning, because it started to list towards the port side (pier side). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 19, 2020 There is the possibility the ship is a total loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
