## Resource

Two boat fires in quick succession—one in South Burlington damaging a home, another in Essex leaving two seriously burned—highlight a chilling truth: boat safety starts before you even hit the water. Authorities warn that maintenance in your garage can be just as dangerous as being out on the water, with fires spreading fast and nowhere to run once you’re on the water. Fire extinguishers aren’t optional—they’re required for a reason. Regular checks for leaks, damaged wiring, and other hazards can prevent small problems from becoming disasters. If a fire breaks out, act fast with your extinguisher, but if it’s not working, get to safety immediately. As boating season heats up, take five minutes to inspect your boat—it could save your life.
