The crew of a Latvian fishing boat that caught fire off Newfoundland yesterday was rescued by an Icelandic vessel that responded to a call for help.
“The 15 personnel on board have been evacuated and they are now safe on board the Icelandic fishing vessel,” said Lieutenant Sue Stefko of the Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Halifax.
The Latvian boat caught fire on the Flemish Cap, about 400 kilometres east of St. John’s. The fire was put out but Lt. Stefko said the boat’s status was unknown.
