PalmTwo young people were slightly injured in the fire of a yacht on which six people were traveling near the port of Ibiza. The fire on board the vessel, as reported by SAMU 061, took place around 7:56 PM this Friday.
Emergency services attended to two young people, aged 29 and 26, who had previously been brought ashore. Both are in a minor condition and did not need to be transferred to a hospital.
On board the yacht, several meters long, were six people, four of whom did not require medical attention. The Maritime Rescue vessel that is dealing with the fire extinguishing tasks has decided to tow the yacht out to sea, considering it unsalvageable.
The Ibiza Firefighters have moved to the Botafoc dock in case their intervention from land was necessary, as reported by the island council. At the moment, the causes of the fire and the circumstances in which it occurred are unknown. The Civil Guard has taken charge of the investigation of the events.
