VENTURA, Calif. (AP) - A commercial fishing boat caught fire off Southern California but its operator was uninjured.
KEYT-TV reports the fire erupted Tuesday afternoon when the 50-foot (15.2-meter) steel vessel was about 8 miles (13 kilometers) off Ventura.
Another vessel, the Emerald Sea, reached the scene first and rendered assistance.
The fire was extinguished and the boat was brought back to harbor.
Video of the fire was posted by a vessel towing service that also responded.
