A fire broke out in the engine room of a fish farming boat in Kvinnherad, Norway, prompting the local fire department to respond swiftly from Husnes. Firefighters managed to contain the fire using a CO2 gas system that was deployed into the engine compartment to suffocate the flames. The fire was reported to have been extinguished within minutes after firefighters boarded the vessel.

At the time of the incident, there were two individuals on board the boat. Fortunately, both passengers were unharmed and did not inhale any smoke, with no injuries reported. The quick response from emergency services mitigated what could have been a more significant disaster, emphasizing the importance of having effective fire suppression systems on board such vessels.

The now-extinguished boat is being towed to shore for further inspection and any necessary repairs. This incident highlights the risks associated with operating fishing vessels and the need for stringent safety measures in such industries.
