After a yacht in Dénia caught fire and sank on Friday (August 6), Maritime Rescue services rescued three passengers and a dog from life rafts.
The Maritime Rescue coordination centre in Valencia received a call from a fishing boat, ‘Mediterranium’, alerting them of a fire onboard a yacht and two life rafts in the water at around 1pm.
The authorities in the Marina Alta comarca told the fishing vessel to help the passengers if possible and sent a helicopter and the Salvamar ‘Pollux’ to the location.
