TACOMA, Wash. — Firefighters responded to a large fire in Tacoma Wednesday night aboard a fish processing vessel. The Aleutian Falcon is now considered a total loss. 
The Tacoma Fire Department responded to the fire on the 230-foot vessel at the Port of Tacoma after 10 p.m. Wednesday.
Crews got the fire under control around 5:15 a.m. Thursday. Around 12:30 p.m., some spots were still burning and crews were working to assure the vessel wouldn't sink. As of 5 p.m., the vessel was dewatered to prevent sinking and crews continue to monitor active flames deep in the hull.
