Yes- Dale. I saw the black smoke on the horizon when I was coming back from a squid session in Mangles Bay yesterday.
I wondered what was on fire? Then saw the news, geez- the bloke is a hero,if the news content is correct. Reported that he got blown from the boat with the explosion,then hopped on a forklift and towed it out from the doorway of the business!
...welding near an at least partially full fuel tank? Good on him for getting it away from the other boats/building, but should never have happened in the first place.

This is why
This is why i wont weld an aluminium boat until the tank is removed. I know there are ways to get around it but stuffed if I would risk it.
