Crews continue to contain vessel fire in Tacoma
In Commencement Bay, a large vessel erupted in flames late Wednesday night. Over 16 hours, crews continue to monitor flames and chemicals on board.
TACOMA, Wash. - Days after a commercial fishing vessel in the Port of Tacoma caught fire, local fire crews and agencies continued to put out the flames.
Tacoma Fire officials said the Aleutian Falcon ship started burning about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, January 17. Crews remained on-site through the night trying to get the fire under control from a defensive stance. The massive fire sent huge plumes of smoke into the air and firefighters scrambling to keep tens of thousands of gallons of chemicals from spilling into Commencement Bay.

Let s start our morning looking to the heavens: NASA s Perseverance rover journeyed 293 million miles over the past seven months to our twin red planet, Mars. It s scheduled to touch down on Mars s dusty surface at around 12:55 p.m. PST inside the Jezero Crater. It will apparently take seven minutes for the $2.4 billion rover to complete the landing process, what NASA has called seven minutes of terror. Once it s landed (fingers crossed), Perseverance will search for signs of microbes, collect rocks in hopes of finding biosignatures, and carry around a mini-helicopter for NASA to fly around for it s first controlled flight on another planet. The live broadcast starts at 11:15 a.m.!
