Boat Fire Today out by the Monster Ledge Area-UPDATED

[paul-e]

I just received a voice mail message from a friend who called me with his fishing report of his trip out of Brielle today for a ling trip.
He said that they were near a boat on fire but didn't get call for assist as enough had already arrived. Said that they pulled 2 guys out of the water and that the boat burned down to the water line. Any one know more information. I am guessing from his message all were safe.

Worse thing on a boat is having a fire aboard. Even with all the water around, no way to readily douse the flames. Fiberglass goes up pretty quick too. 

Hope all are uninjured.

POINT PLEASANT, N.J. – The Coast Guard and a good Samaritan rescued two people aboard a 41-foot boat after it caught fire 29 miles off the coast of Point Pleasant Wednesday.

The Coast Guard received a call at 11:51 a.m. from a crewmember aboard the Eagles II reporting that the pleasure craft LC4 was on fire and the two people aboard were in a life raft near it.

The crew of the good Samaritan boat Sea Sue transferred both people from the life raft to their boat.

A rescue boat crew from Coast Guard Station Manasquan Inlet, N.J., arrived on scene and transferred the two people to their boat. The rescue boat transported the two people back to the station.

No injuries were reported.
