Emergency crews rushed to Brookings Harbor shortly before 11 a.m. Monday to the scene of a reported boat fire.
“When we arrived on scene, we could see heavy smoke showing from the boat,” said Harbor Fire District Assistant Chief Joshua Frame.
“We set a 2-inch line down to start sending water to the boat as soon as possible. We had a Brookings Fire & Rescue unit directly behind us laying a 5-inch water line.”
Frame said there was no one aboard the docked 85-foot Miss Pacific when fire crews arrived.
The U.S. Coast Guard sent two fire boats to assist in containing the blaze, and a Coast Guard helicopter flew overhead to render any assistance needed.
Firefighters from Gold Beach and Smith River assisted Harbor Fire and Brookings Fire & Rescue.
The cause of the fire remained under investigation.
