USS Hue City Crew Douses Major Fire At Sea -- First Coast Times/Navy Times
The crew of the cruiser Hue City fought and defeated a major fire in one of the main engineering spaces Monday evening without suffering any injuries, according to a new report obtained by Navy Times.
The fire broke out at just after 6:20 p.m. local time while the Hue City was steaming about 200 nautical miles northeast of Bermuda, according to the initial incident report sent by the ship.
It started in the No. 1 gas turbine generator, located in main engine room one, and the crew reacted by going to general quarters, this message said, in what appears to be among the most serious shipboard fires in a few years.
While much remains unclear about what happened on board, the report makes clear that the fire wasn't finally declared "out" until more than an hour and a half after it started.
