It probably started around 12:15 and was out with the boat totally destroyed by about 12:45. Coast Guard and lots of other vessels on hand. Didn't see the initial fire so don't know if there was an explosion or not. Of course, have no idea if the occupants got to safety but likely they did as it's a very busy boat channel. These pictures are from the end of Isabella Point Road.

Some of the smoke from the fire could be seen on the Salt Spring Exchange - Fulford Harbour Cam.
