A woman suffered burns on her face and arms in Sausalito on Friday after the boat she lives on caught fire in Richardson Bay, officials said.

The victim, a 37-year-old woman, was taken to Marin General Hospital with 10 to 20 percent of her body burned, Martinez said. A photo from the scene shows at least a dozen firefighters at a dock as the woman is carried out on a stretcher.

The Coast Guard aided three fishermen in distress after their 45-foot fishing vessel caught fire and was flooding near Table Bluff, Wednesday morning.
A crew member of the commercial fishing vessel Advance called watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector Humboldt Bay via cell phone around 8:30 a.m., reporting an engine fire and flooding with three people on board. 
The caller said the crew was fighting the fire by dumping buckets of water into the engine compartment.
A 47-foot Motor Lifeboat crew from Station Humboldt Bay and a MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew from Sector Humboldt Bay launched to assist. The crew of the Advance was able to extinguish the fire before the boat crew arrived on scene. The Motor Lifeboat crew passed a dewatering pump to the fisherman and instructed them how to dewater the vessel. Once the flooding was under control, the Coast Guard crew towed the Advance to Woodley Island Marina.
There were no reported injuries.

A 25-foot Cruiser boat caught fire at Island Cove Marina on Highway 58 Friday afternoon.

The Hamilton County Hazmat team is responding to the scene to contain a possible fuel spill from the charred boat.

Fifteen people were injured Sunday when a fire broke out on a shuttle boat taking passengers to a casino boat near New Port Richey, Florida, north of Tampa. There were 50 people on board when the fire started about half a mile from shore, said Shawn Whited, the Pasco County fire division chief. All made it to shore.
The injuries included smoke inhalation and chest pains, fire department Deputy Chief Andrew Fossa said. All those aboard were accounted for, the Coast Guard said Sunday evening.
Fire department officials said the fire likely started in the engine room and spread quickly.Officials said the boat's captain saved lives because he turned the boat around when he noticed the flames, managing to get closer to shore and making it easier for first responders to reach those in the water.
Officer Jason Zimmerman of the New Port Richey Police Department said some of the older passengers were face down in the water when he reached them.
"If we didn't show up at the time we did, there were going to be serious consequences," Zimmerman said.
The 59-degree water combined with Gulf breezes created a risk of hypothermia for the passengers, emergency officials said.
"They were absolutely frigid when they got out of there," Fossa said.
The first 911 call about the fire came in around 4:15 p.m., CNN affiliate WFTS reported. The boat was still burning about two hours later.
The fire broke out near waterfront homes, and passengers who jumped out and swam to shore ended up in backyards, a witness, who gave her name only as Hala, told WFTS.

Flames ripped through a boat in Dania Beach early Wednesday, burning it practically down to the water line and completely destroying the 42-foot Chris-Craft valued at $40,000, officials said.
The boat, named Lady Di, caught fire shortly after 4:30 a.m. at the Dania Beach Marina, 151 N. Beach Road.
A man, a woman and a small dog were onboard the boat when the fire broke out, but no one was hurt, according to Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Michael Kane.
The occupants of a neighboring boat alerted the two people to the fire by banging on the Chris-Craft.
“These folks had very good neighbors. These neighbors alerted them early on in the event,” Kane said.
The man and the woman “say they barely had time to escape and left with just a few items and their dog, Cocoa.”
Some 60 firefighters from Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue, the agency’s marine unit and Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue were at the scene.
Arriving crews found the Chris-Craft, which was tied to a boat slip, going up in flames.
“It took firefighters approximately two hours to fully extinguish the fire, which was declared out just before 7 a.m.,” Kane said.
No other boats at the marina were affected by the blaze. However, about a dozen people on other nearby boats had to be temporarily evacuated to a bus that was brought to the scene and should be able to go back to their boats later Wednesday when investigators determine it is safe to do so.
How the fire started remains under investigation.
