Firefighters are working on the Beach Fire burning on the banks of the Colorado River at Body Beach in Lake Havasu City, AZ. At about 3:45 p.m. PDT fire officials said the northeast wind had picked up and it was moving the fire, which was 40 acres at that time, south along the shoreline on land managed by the Bureau of Reclamation. County and Bureau of Land Management structures were being threatened.
BLM, San Bernardino County Fire, and other departments were on scene.

We can deduce, this fire was most likely human caused.
Didn’t realize baseball caps were acceptable safety gear on fire boats. Good thing the boat was not BLM’s.
Look like he’s wearing the appropriate PPE for a noisy boat around his neck & on his ears. Don’t see any overhead hazards squirting a wet line from that big wet line…
