Coast Guard rescues crew from burning boat in Honolulu

The Coast Guard rescued seven people found floating in a life raft today after the 45-foot fishing vessel they were on burst into flames.

The boat was seven nautical miles directly south of Honolulu Harbor.

The seven aboard the boat thought the fire was contained to the engine room of the U.S.-flagged boat, Miss Emma, whose home port is Honolulu, Coast Guard Petty Officer 2nd Class Alvin Seguin said.
