    A family-run yacht building and repair business in the Northern Neck of Virginia was badly damaged by fire that resulted from what witnesses said was an explosion. It happened at Tiffany Yachts in Burgess, Va. Tuesday afternoon. Apparently, the fire started inside a boat shed and quickly spread to two other buildings, but all employees and customers are okay. One building, which was uninsured, was destroyed as was a yacht that workers had been building for the past five years. Fire investigators are trying to figure out how it started. Firefighters from multiple jurisdictions worked to put out the flames.

    But you do realize this topic is two and a half years old, right?
