1/First off, hats off to everyone for getting all the passengers off #SpiritOfNorfolk. Top-notch job by the crew and that of #VictoryRover.
Based on reports and photos, it appears that the fire started in the engine room. You can see the smoke from back aft.

3/In a press briefing that afternoon, the Fed Fire Chief noted that they had adopted a defensive stance.
Due to the flooding from firefighting, and the location of the fire in the engine room, they were not permitting personal on board due to risk.
