The fire has closed the only fueling dock in Whittier Harbor, prompting concerns for charter and commercial fishing fleets during the busy summer season.
Fire crews block off Harbor Loop Road to extinguish a fire on the Whittier fuel dock on Tuesday. .
Girdwood Fire Chief Michelle Weston said her department was called at noon to assist with the fire, joining fire departments from the City of Whittier, as well as the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel fire department. Medics evaluated two people who were then transported out by LifeMed, she said. The dock is the one place in town for boats to refuel, without having to go on land. Its closure has prompted concerns for charter and commercial fishing fleets during the busy summer season.
“For those of us who have boats that are not trailerable, they are working on getting a fuel truck there that can pump both diesel and gasoline simultaneously,” Mason said. “As of yet, the location of that has not been determined.”“We’ve been shut down on Tuesdays and Wednesday for a halibut issue,” Mason said. “So it hasn’t affected us as of yet, but it will tomorrow if we can’t get fuel.”
