A commercial fishing boat caught fire off the coast of Manzanita Beach in Oregon Saturday.
The one person on board the boat was rescued by a Good Samaritan. The U.S. Coast Guard, which helped put out the fire, said the person’s condition was not immediately known.
The initial distress call went out at 6:30 a.m., the Coast Guard said.
The cause of the fire is not yet known. The Coast Guard stayed on scene to enforce a 1,000 yard safety zone around the 42-foot boat.
