THE RNLI’s St Helier all-weather lifeboat came to the aid of a vessel with an engine room fire on Saturday afternoon.
The vessel’s crew managed to extinguish the fire by the time two RNLI crew members boarded the boat, which was towed back to St Helier.
Following the rescue, the RNLI praised the vessel’s crew for demonstrating “exemplary safety conduct”, which included wearing lifejackets, deploying their anchor, not entering the engine room and calling for assistance on their VHF radio.
