Fire destroys two boats, motor vehicles on Kingston waterfront

Fire of unknown origin destroyed two motor vehicles, boats and equipment at Kingston Harbour in downtown, Kingston, Saturday afternoon, leaving millions of dollars in damage.

The fire reportedly started about 12:30 p.m., close to the property housing the Marine Police and a fireboat belonging to the Jamaica Fire Brigade on Marcus Garvey Drive and quickly got out of control.

It destroyed two boats and a motor car and a truck.

A fireboat was initially deployed to extinguish the blaze but it was not until two fire trucks were deployed that the fire was brought under control.
