Fire on Oasis of the Seas

Reports are indicating that a fire broke out earlier today on Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas while under construction in Finland. Apparently, some insulation caught fire as a result of some nearby welding activity. All 1500 workers were evacuated and the fire was dealt with by the shipyard's fire fighters shortly after.

The fire was able to spread from deck 9 to some upper decks but the damage is being described as not extensive. Hopefully this doesn't delay the launch of the ship. So far there has been no statement from Royal Caribbean.
