erice 732 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 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. http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/87800834/yacht-catches-fire-sinks-off-coromandel-coast Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ScottiE 174 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 who knows. But clearly getting burnt means he should have been wearing a full fireman's suit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
