Firefighters battled the blaze with over 112,000 gallons of water, hauling it in from across town since the dock’s hydrants failed. The Norwegian Jade escaped unscathed, but the Klondike Express suffered smoke and flame damage. State fire marshals are investigating the cause, scrutinizing construction plans to determine if code violations played a role — a major blow for a community that relied on this secure, high-profile infrastructure.
