One person rescued after boat catches fire in Elliott Bay

A private boater came to the rescue of a person who ended up in chilly Elliott Bay after an explosion and fire erupted on their boat.

Coast Guard reserve crews from Station Seattle responded after the fire broke out on a small pleasure boat near Duwamish Head Light, east of the Don Armeni Boat Ramp in West Seattle.

Photos posted by the Coast Guard show huge flames erupting from the entire length of the boat.

The person on board made it off safely and was not injured, but only after jumping into the cold water.
