It was, as was every other platform in the thousands of pages of manuals we painstakingly went through.

It's a colloquial term for a platform.

Pretty much anything can be a rig.

I call my rod and reel a rig

I call my truck a rig

I rig up my TV and satellite dish when I tailgate on the weekends.

large fire ball in the lake

Seeing that there is more than one lake, could someone possibly let me know in which lake this occurred?

ETA- I see the other thread title answers my question.

Doubt it was a MAWP but the state really needs to start regulating bay fields. I've worked in one and it is a death trap. No regulations at all
