The Martha's Vineyard Times has an excellent article about an epic boathouse fire at Coast Guard Station Menemsha.

The pictures are and video are just spectacular.

Oak Bluffs Fire/Rescue was called to the scene. Their fire-equipped MetalCraft Marine Kingston 36 (details here) was instrumental in taming the blaze.

Some quotes from The Martha's Vineyard Times:

Oak Bluffs provided a firefighting boat that raced up Vineyard Sound and arrived to play a crucial role in the battle.

And this:

Mr. Olsen praised the Island community response and said he was thankful for the Oak Bluffs fireboat which, he said, helped push the fire back down the dock.
