A big fire will suck air in to feed off of and the fire coud very well have pulled the small boat back toward it with winds. Very, very tragic. I would say this man may have come up with a plan to save his family and his life. The boat more than likely wasn't big enoug for he and the family. He sent them in the boat to presumed safety, maybe tried to save and help some other people on dock, then swam for his life. Unfortunatly, his plan didn't work and he will live the rest of his life second guessing his decisions.


You are close , a fireman who was on the scene yesterday morning told me the family was in a boat drifting away and a burning boat floated into them , igniting their boat. I believe the older child was special needs .
