The vessel contacted the Canadian Coast Guard who dispatched an axillary vessel. Luckily, another fishing vessel arrived and safely rescued the three crew on board. The Jesse and Girls was taken under tow while the auxillary boat attempted to extinguish the blaze. The vessel arrived at Grand Manan where local firefighters used foam to ensure the fire was extinguished. No reports of injuries. Reports state the damage could exceed $100,000 CAD.
