Boat fire in Indian Arm fjord near North Vancouver led to sinking, causing minor diesel spill.

A boat caught fire in the Indian Arm fjord near Deep Cove, North Vancouver, on Saturday afternoon, sinking after three hours of smoldering. All occupants were safely removed, but the vessel's 1,200 liters of diesel created a small oil sheen. The Canadian Coast Guard responded from the Kitsilano Base, and equipment is in place to monitor and address potential pollution.
