Cargo of pushed barge caught fire
On the morning of Nov 13, 2024, the barge 'CMT 252' caught fire on the Mobile River near the Cochrane-Africatown bridge in Mobile, Alabama, while it was being pushed by the 'Judson B' aliong with a string of other barges. The 'CMT 252' was loaded with a cargo of crushed cars, from which dense smoke started billowing. The tug moved the barge to a safe distance from the others. Local firefighters dispatched a fire boat along with a drone with thermal cameras. Assisted by the tug 'Lisa Cooper', the fire fighters contained the blaze in the run of the day.
