away near St. Simons Island. She also heard several
loud popping sounds from the shipwreck.
Several hours later, the fire was being sprayed
with hoses from the towering crane being used
to dismantle the ship as well as at least two boats
equipped with water cannons.
"It's kind of like a roller coaster where it seems to
die down for about 20 minutes or half an hour, and
then it picks back up again," Inman said.

A towering crane that straddles the wreck is cut-

Himes said the fire was likely sparked by one of the
cutting torches, even though crews were pumping
sea water onto the ship as a fire suppression mea-
sure. He didn't know what was fueling the blaze,
but said it's possibly residual fuel still aboard the
ship as well as cars that remain inside its cargo
decks.
