The fishing vessel Blue Pacific caught fire while berthed at Unalaska, Alaska.  The fire started in the vessel’s hold by a space heater.  The local fire fighters, state authorities and the Coast Guard assisted in putting out the blaze two hours later.  No reports of injuries or pollution released.   A boom was placed around the vessel as a precaution for any oil or fuel released into the bilge.
