At 9.02am on Sunday, January 19th, the Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service crews from Fishguard and Haverfordwest Fire Stations were called to an incident at Fishguard Harbour.
Crews responded following a fire on a 19-metre-long catamaran. The vessel’s fire suppression system was activated at sea which extinguished the fire and vessel was escorted to the harbour by the RNLI's St David's Lifeboat.
Crews were set up and ready at the harbour to tackle any remaining fire or reignition. Once the vessel was at the harbour, crews carried out a thorough inspection of the vessel using two breathing apparatus sets, two hose reel jets, one 45mm jet, one thermal imaging camera and one gas monitor.
Advice was given to the vessel’s crew and Fire and Rescue Service crews left the scene at 11am.
