WHIDBEY ISLAND — One person is safe after the Coast Guard responded to a massive boat fire off Whidbey Island, Washington.
KOMO-TV reported that the boat was about nine miles off shore, west of Point Partridge on Thursday night.
A thick plume of black smoke could be seen for several miles.
The Coast Guard says one person who was on the boat made it safely away from the fire in a dinghy.
That person was picked up by a passing boat and taken to John Wayne Marina in Sequim.
