boat burns, sinks, te kouma


Recommended Posts

Fire crews were called to Te Kouma, near Coromandel Town, at 3am on Wednesday after a yacht moored at sea caught fire.

 

Northern Fire Communications shift manager Jarron Phillips said the vessel was engulfed in flames when crews arrived.

The one person who had been on board when the fire started suffered burns, Phillips said. He managed to make it to the wharf but there were no details on how he did so. 

Phillips said it was believed the boat sunk.
