Canadian Coast Guard Rescues Crew of Spanish Fishing Trawler after Boat Catches Fire

All 22 members of a Spanish fishing trawler forced to leap into the North Atlantic after their boat caught fire have been rescued by a Canadian Coast Guard ship that was responding to their distress call.

The Canadian Coast Guard ship arrived about ten minutes after receiving the distress call from the Monte Galineiro on Sunday, just as several of the fishermen were leaping in the freezing waters to avoid the flames.

One of the fishermen was said to have suffered from hypothermia but was treated onboard the Coast Guard ship.

There was no word on what caused the fire on the fishing trawler.
