Foot ferry caught fire

The 'Admiral Pete' caught fire during its service on its way from Bremerton to Annapolis in the middle of a sailing on the evening of July 29, 2024. No passengers were injured, but the vessel will be taken off the route for repairs. The 'Admiral Pete' was making a regular sailing when the crew noticed smoke coming from the engine room, The ferry 'Waterman', which runs between Bremerton and Port Orchard, pulled up alongside the 'Admiral Pete' and pumped water to cool the outside of the vessel, which later docked at its Annapolis stop. Fire crews responded to the ferry dock, but the fire had already been put out by the ferry crew by the time it arrived. The cause of the fire was under investigation. The ferry was taken out of service until further notice, and was brought back to Port Orchard on July 30. The 'Carlisle 2' was filling in for the vessel on an alternative schedule.
