Coast Guard rescues 5 in Chesapeake Bay

A 41-foot utility boat crew from Coast Guard Station Curtis Bay, Md., responded to a call via marine-band radio reporting an engine fire aboard a 26-foot pleasure craft near Gibson Island, Md., Thursday, June 25, 2009. A volunteer Riviera Beach Fire Department boat crew arrived on scene, boarded the vessel, determined the fire was out and declared that the vessel was safe. The Coast Guard crew towed the boat and crew until Towboat U.S. relieved them due to water depth. (Video gathered by Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Kevin Tidwell, Marine Lance Cpl.
