Fire off Newfoundland
A fishing vessel based out of Englee caught fire while off St. Anthony, Newfoundland, Canada. The vessel with 5 men on board sent out a distress signal. A nearby vessel reached the scene and pulled four crewmen, all in lifesuits, out of the water. A Coast Guard helicopter also reached the scene and pulled the last crewman out of the water, but he only had a life-jacket. He was non-responsive and later pronounced dead. The four survivors were taken to Lewisporte and later to hospital. Canada authorities are conducting an investigation into the incident.
