‘Bering Sea Gold’ Exclusive: Fire Sets Brad Kelly In Frantic Bid To Rescue Kris Kelly
Kris Kelly cannot catch a break on Bering Sea Gold for Discovery this season.
The son of Brad Kelly was trapped in a rock avalanche, and now finds himself underwater as a huge fire breaks out i the pump room that supplies air to him while he dives for gold.
In TV Shows Ace exclusive clip for tonight’s insane episode, the Kellys have no luck of the Irish as our clip opens with Kris Kelly diving underwater and pretty excited about what he sees, and his dad Brad up above monitoring the situation.
Suddenly, fortunes change. A fire is spotted as the cameraman picks up smoke coming out of the shed.
The entire wooden structure is soon engulfed and Brad is visibly frantic to get his son up fast, as Kris Kelly’s air supply will run out as the hoses melt from the fire.

In the clip we see father Brad Kelly, the patriarch of the Kelly family who has been part of the series since Season 2 which began back in 2012. His sons are miner Kris and Andy Kelly. Andy is also a diver. Kris Kelly is the one underwater in tonight’s episode.
The Kellys have had a tumultuous past and their estranged mother Wendy is at the root of a lot of father Brad’s tension. Son Kris has tried to bring his mother back up to Nome, and both he and Andy have had anger issues with their father over this entire family dysfunctional dynamic.
Here is Andy ahead of the fire disaster, cooking on the ice:
