Marine Safety

Fire at Sea

This video shows a man and dog being rescued by the Coast Guard after their sailboat caught fire about 60 miles off Florida's coast.

When your boat catches fire, the only two options are to successfully fight the fire or abandon ship. If the latter is the only option, it helps to have a Coast Guard Air Station nearby.

Semper Paratus!
