| 释义 |
The Philadelphia Fire Department started operating the fireboat Independence in 2007.[1][2] The vessel cost $5 million, $4.5 million of which came from a FEMA Port Security Grant. On September 10, 2010, both the Independence and a smaller fireboat, the Fireboat Seven, from Westville, New Jersey responded to a dock fire in Paulsboro, New Jersey.[3][4] Fireboat Seven had arrived first, and put the fire out, without assistance. When the Independence received orders to turn around, when it was near the dock, she reversed quickly, generating a wake so large it caused fireboat seven to alide with shore-side equipment. Westville's insurance adjuster determined that Fireboat Seven was damaged beyond repair.[3][4] After a failure to reach an out-of-court settlement, Westville sued Philadelphia. Philadelphia countersued. On July 30, 2014, Westville initiated a lawsuit in Federal Court. Philadelphia finally settled, on March 31, 2016, for $117,000.
