Dozens of students were rescued from a burning boat in Melbourne’s Port Phillip Bay this morning. The serious situation forced the boat’s crew to call for help and spring into action to save the occupants.
According to reports, the boat carrying the students made a detour after receiving reports of a fire. The speed and skill of the crew was instrumental in rescuing the passengers.
Fortunately, it appears that all the students were wearing life jackets and were therefore prepared for an emergency rescue.
Further details of the incident are expected to emerge as the investigation progresses and official statements are made by the authorities.
