    I understand that there is an investigation under way, but it would be nice if the public could be informed as soon as possible who is responsible for setting the fire on this derelict vessel. The vessel's owner does share responsibility, but the state and/or county didn't think it too important or much of a risk in the months before the incident. Maybe the government shares some of the responsibility as well...?
