Default Anyone ever seen this before?

So, I'd sunk one merchant and gone out of my way to chase down another for relocation to the bargain basement. After a while I get him relocated and am heading back past the first sunken merchant on my way back to my patrol area. I spy a bit of fire on the water



I'm admiring the nice reflections on the water (thanks Leo!) from the flames (yes, I really am a pyromaniac)



The closer I get, the more I'm wondering what it is that could still be burning an hour or two after the sinking. Oh well, admire some more reflections as I'm closing in on the flames...



Then it's "what the he double hockey sticks?" time



These guys must be noobs and not know how to properly operate the "Barbeque grill in the dinghy" mod



Oh, well, they ended up getting what they deserve for playing with matches

Yep, they ignored the 'No Smoking Within 500 Feet" signs.

I figured it was something like that and I should have taken some shots after the dinghy capsized and sank (sort of) because the flames went to almost nothing afterwards. Maybe the game engine actually knows that the "extra fuel" for the fire (the wooden dinghy) was underwater?

They say ignorance is bliss, but in this case I don't think so :p

Default but that was actualy comming from the life boat?

or the ship you sunk from earlier? I reduced the flood time for the fires on the ocean effect. But maybe I need to adjust it more. Something I did for Die Slowly and Redwine some new effect's but if it was the life boat then I have to fix that ASAP.
