On the morning of February 27th, there was a reported fire on a vessel docked at the Posorja harbor in the Guayaquil canton of Ecuador. The alert was received by the ECU911 emergency response system at 09:40, notifying officials that a boat was engulfed in flames. Firefighters were dispatched to the scene shortly after, and by 10:25, it was confirmed that the incident involved a fire at the dock itself.

Initially, the crew from the company that owned the vessel attempted to control the fire before firefighters arrived. Two firefighting units then joined the efforts to extinguish the flames and assess any further damage or impact from the incident. By midday, ECU911 reported that the fire had been brought under control, with firefighting teams continuing to cool down the affected area to prevent reignition.

Fortunately, there have been no reports of injuries or individuals trapped as a result of the incident. The swift response from emergency services has likely mitigated potential escalations, highlighting the importance of local emergency preparedness in maritime emergencies.
