Fire in the galley extinguished by crew
On Jan 26, 2014, a fire broke out aboard the "Replenish -BF 28" in the North Sea. The crew of six had been fishing for prawns 30 miles off the Northumberland coast when the blaze was discovered in the galley. It had been extinguished by the time an RNLI-ifeboat reached the scene, but the vessel was escorted back to the River Tyne, at North Shields, by the lifeboat. The fire brigade which had been alerted in the meantime, sent four appliances to North Shields Fish Quay. Firefighters using breathing apparatus entered the "Replenish" and confirmed the blaze was out before venting the boat of smoke using powerful fans.
