He was actually telling his daughter that his daughter was on the ship and came up scared, he was also probably saying it to his crew but mostly his daughter
Edgar is such a magician, holy crap!!! Not only he dealt with the fire but he actually made the boat working again. One of the few truly irreplaceable crew mates.
I don't for a second even in 2016 believe that there isn't redundant power. If one wire could take out all power there would be a lot more ships sinking. Maybe in the 70s but not this day and age there's back up power. And if there isn't you're working on iron that predates most people on board. Most maritime accidents come from human error not mechanical.
I hope Sig eventually gives respect to Edgar like he does his other brother Norman. Edgar is more than just the engineer, he's a top notch first mate and a good captain when sig took off
To be fair I’m a sparky, and even on electrics in a factory I sometimes use a screwdriver to reset breakers, doing it on a boat surrounded by water, on a board that’s recently been on fire, when you probably aren’t a trained electrician, I don’t blame him for resetting it with a bit of wood! 😂
@@iluvfionaleggate These boats are rat's nests of dodgy wiring and redneck temp fixes. The owners spent the absolute minimum to meet seaworthiness regs.
@@iluvfionaleggate Sparky here also. On big switch gear like that, especially on new fire up, always stand back and use board. people don't understand how bad an arc flash can be.
I searched and searched for this ep. I remember when this one was dropped. It’s crazy how proud you can feel for a person you have never met. And for some reason I forgot Mandy was on the boat this trip! I’m going to watch it again it’s just to good. Edgar your a freaking champ of life!
Fire onboard a vessel are absolutely terrifying. Which is somewhat ironic since you are surrounded by water. And that's also the problem. You can't get to safety when things go really bad. I worked on a ferry, we had a car catch fire down in the car hold. It's designed to contain a fire but still. It was the most terrifying hour I've experienced. In the end one car totally burned out and a few were badly damaged. It could have gone so much worse
I've been in that situation with a fire in the engine room as a mechanic/engineer. First, it's not a five minute evac/fix with the CO2 going off. Second, it's not a 15--30 minute fix to get moving again. Third, All the dang wires are too short and usually have to be removed from panels to jury rig a bypass to get home. I had to sacrifice an engine room exhaust fan harness to power the air compressor. But yea, that def get the adrenaline going.
You can if it's TV. :-) I can believe they got the fire out in a few minutes. (inside the panel it'll almost put itself out, but who knows what else it's going to light in the mean time.)
If one man has studied in order to gain the knowledge for the work he does and another man is doing the same thing but is completely self tought, i would respect the last man the most. Those are always the best ones.
Sig was probably trying to tell himself to stay calm by telling everyone else to stay calm. That could have ended VERY badly! And then trying to splice together conductors afterwards and not get electrocuted. VERY scary! Edgar has saved that boat a couple times that I have seen!
Buddy of mine Cosmo was Tuna fishing in nothern California and woke up to his boat engulfed in flame. Woke up his helper and soon as they woke up they had to jump overboard into the north pacific. His boat the Preamble sunk literally within minutes going down in flames. Saved the cat on-board. He had arouns 40k in cash on the boat he lost as well.
Sig's taught Maddy one of the most important things anyone on a boat should know: How to steer with just the wheel and nothing else. Without that you're as good as dead.
Man, I can’t believe they didn’t even have flashlights 🔦 on hand or in a designated area. This isn’t there 1st day fishing. What do you think the outcome would’ve been if Edgar wasn’t on board for that fishing trip?😐 You have all the crew members and the Discovery camera crew aboard as well. And it sounded like nobody was answering the radio when they were calling to shore for possible help. 😞 Scary situation
I work in the engine room on a ship and I am the only person who carries a flashlight. Like sure we have an emergency gen but I cannot believe we have no readily available lights and nobody is bothered
Why didn’t they at least use their phones or something and why isn’t there a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) battery to power emergeny lights in this exact kind of emergency.
@@L33tSkE3t Some vessels are built with two switchboards. You have the main switchboard which is fed by the auxiliaries and you'll have the emergency switchboard that's fed by the emergency generator. In case of a power failure in the MSB some essential systems like lightning will automatically disconnect themselves from the MSB and instead be fed by the ESB. In such a setup you don't have a lot of battery powered equipment since it's considered extremely unlikely you will have lost both the MSB and the ESB at the same time. On the cargo vessel where I work the only battery backups we really have are for bridge equipment. 230V UPS systems for critical navigational equipment and the stability computer, 24V backups for GMDSS (radios etc...) and separate 24V backups for critical equipment like telegraph, controls, fire detection/alarms and the like. The way our vessel is built means that if you have a fire or other incident severe enough to knock out both the MSB and the ESB or all the power generation, it means that the vessel in all likelihood is completely uncapable of sailing under own power even if we manage to resolve whatever caused it and even more likely the situation will be severe enough that Abandon Ship is the likely course of action.
Scariest thing ever. But I know a lot of people are saying why didn't they have flashlights in hand. Well be in their shoes. First panic comes into their mind and not only that it is pitch black and they can't see a thing. And they probably didn't think about their cell phones. And when something like this happens you can't think clearly because panic and all other things start going on. If you see lights flickering like that that is almost a sign of a fire. Because in my town there was a fire across our street and our lights in our house were flickering. I could be wrong but I am just saying and stating my opinion.
Don't think most deckhands would have phones on them when out on deck if their job requires a lot of physical movements. Worked on some jobs that has lots of moving and carrying, phones gets smashed, water or sand or mud or whatever else splashed on them, and you can't use very well with gloves on anyway. As for the light on them, anything beside small spaces and rooms, if you take it outside or larger spaces, anything more than 2-3 steps away that light is pitifully small in a pitch black setting, add in smoke and it's even worst. Small spaces the light can bounce and reflect back from objects and walls making it look brighter, open space is just a sea of darkness.
@@kidwave1I may understand what you are saying. But just saying this were you there. And why would the coast guards allow this. If it was all staged and fake because that would be endangering the animals. But other thing is that why would same stage and set a fire to there own electrical panel I'm not trying to be mean or rude or anything but this is just my opinion because the jobs that they are doing like this is dangerous
Do they do any routine maintenance on these boats? I've been watching other clips of this show and seems like a lot of the mechanical failures on these boats could have been caught with basic inspections and routine replacement of critical parts.
They do. Some boats do seem to slack off on it but the Northwestern crew was always one to keep the boat in the best condition they could. Problem is a lot of these boats are decades old and some of the stuff on them is nearly that. You also have to remember that they are operating in an extreme environment and can end up running for weeks straight with very little breaks.

Captain, "Edgar, we need power!" Edgar, "We're just hanging on, sir. Main energizer is out!" (But in a Scottish accent) Captain, "Try auxiliary power!" Edgar, "Aye, sir."
You do not fight a fire by becoming a casualty. Not only is that type of foul weather gear flammable, but it also contains materials that will effectively turn into heat shrink, causing terrible burns over large portions of the body, if it is heated past a certain point. As a bonus, many of the types of materials used in foulies give off highly toxic gases if they combust. So not only are you a casualty, there is a significant chance you just severely injured/killed your crewmates via gas exposure.
Not sure if it's good to bad mouth folks that went to school to learn something. Just as I avoid bad mouthing folks that did not go to school but know things. Both journeys can go well, horribly bad, or somewhere in between. All the bad mouthing just keeps the division alive & well.
When using powder fire extinguisher in any Electric area… if fire dont kill it… The powder Will… Its pest or colera🤷🏼♂️ Over time it Can make Many trouble in the electrical systems ! Often you need to replace it all, with new stuff. And get rid of all that powder before replacing anything!! Love how the team killed that fire❤Kudos To all of Them ! But EDGAR IS THE MAAAN, man!
@Buckwheat Because i had fire in a machine once - and the powder did great harm in the electrical system🤷🏼♂️ Yeah i know its chemicals - AND ITS IN A POWDER FORM! NN
@Buckwheat You need to do some research 🤷🏼♂️ ABC and BC POWDER can cause damage in Electric systems - Both switches and wire ends… Maybe try Google 🤷🏼♂️ (Edit) i could not leave a link taking you away from RUclips - So i provided you with some copy-paste: BC - The standard type of dry powder fire extinguisher, which is filled with sodium bicarbonate or potassium bicarbonate was initially developed for liquid fires (Class B) involving burning petrol, solvents, oils etc. and Class C fires involving flammable Gases. They have generally been superseded by the more versatile ABC powder extinguishers. Like all powder extinguishers, after use they leave a residue which may cause damage to sensitive electrical / electronic equipment. ABC - This is the most used and most popular multipurpose powder fire extinguisher and as the name implies can be used on class A (burning solids), B (liquid fires) and C ( Gases) fires, and is filled with mono-ammonium phosphate powder. The powder also leaves a residue that could cause damage to electrical equipment. (Use CO2 extinguishers for electrical fires).
Edgar is my type of guy. Not many of us in the world. We look rough, and dumb, but there isn't a thing man has made we can't find an answer for. Sad the state of regular aptitude these days.
Sooner or later you get to an age when you realise school was a complete waste of time. Once you can read, write and count, the rest is all just a big distraction. Learn a trade. Electrics, plumbing, welding, mechanics etc and you're good.
everyone saying panic kicks in yes it does but this is why you are supposed to have more than one station armed with fire extinguishers and flashlights and fire drills so every man and woman can fight them even in darkness, the Bigger question is if your electrical panel looks like a rats nest you have to ask your self why did it look like this because the fire didn't make it a mess whoever wired it up did that, fire drills should be mandatory at least once a month, I don't need to tell anyone fire is one if not the most dangerous thing that can happen on a ship, if it wasn't for Edgar this could have been a totally different outcome he's the man not only did he get the fire out in complete darkness but he got them back up and running saving there crab, one close call is too many and this should show them they're not ready, fire stations with flashlights and fire extinguishers in 2 or more places on the ship, everyone should do drills once a month so they can find them even when it's dark, thank god this did end badly, glad everyone is ok, but this should be a wake up call, sig you own edgar more then you know
I noticed edgar wouldnt let any of the camrea crew down in the enginee room to film the fire the one person that tried edgar told you stay out of there
I can’t imagine trying to dig through that rats nest of wires on a rocking boat with a flashlight trying to rewire 3 pumps under a time crunch. Talk about stress haha

Edgar is that guy. We all need a Edgar in our lives
My name is Edgar and it's an honor to share name with him
Edgar knows that boat like the back of his hand, a sign of a good ships engineer. He just showed why he is Sig's deck boss and engineer.
Sig screaming ‘stay calm’ in the most uncalm manner is the best part of this
Yelling anything like 'stay calm' or 'dont panic' tends to have the opposite effect.
edgar has saved that boat so many times he is a god sent

Edgar saves that whole boat and everyone on it. They were also VERY lucky the weather was good.
You know you're confident in your work when you flip the breaker with a board lmao.
