When a vessel caught fire in Florida’s Pensacola Bay, a good Samaritan jumped into action to help evacuate the four people on board, according the Pensacola Journal.
On Sunday afternoon, the vessel caught fire and the good Samaritan who saw what was taking place contacted the Coast Gard, according to U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Gabriel Wisdom.
The Coast Guard did arrive but by that point, the person had helped all four people off the boat onto their own vessel.
The vessel that caught fire was unrecoverable. No one was injured.

​Juneau, AK - A boat in Sitka was a total loss Monday after a fire erupted on the vessel.
According to Sitka Fire Chief Craig Warren, the owner of the 34-foot fiberglass vessel "Megabucks," saw that there was black smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe for his diesel heater, and when he got there, saw black smoke inside the cabin. When the owner opened up the cabin door, it burst into flames.
The owner had then got off the boat said he called 911. Sitka Fire was dispatched to the Megabucks at Eliason harbor at about 8:47 that morning.
When crews arrived at the Megabucks, Warren said it was engulfed from the transom all the way forward to the bow. 20 people were on scene and for an hour and a half, crews were fighting the fire with portable water pumps.
The boat is a total loss, Warren says the investigation is ongoing but they are currently assuming heaters as a cause of the fire.
"But until we get in there and take a look, we don't know. Right now it's more important that we get it out of the water so that it doesn't sink and start releasing all of its fuel and oil."
Warren was asked how the cabin could burst into flames.
"This is pretty common in especially residences where the fuel load is high enough that the fire starts free burning, and then uses up all the oxygen in the compartment. When the oxygen in the compartment is used up, it goes into a decay status where you don't see open burning, but it's superheated, and then as soon as the door opens fresh air and oxygen is entrained into the compartment that allows the free burning to start immediately."

One person was taken to the hospital with unknown injuries Tuesday afternoon after a likely vapor explosion led to a boat fire at the Morehead City 10th Street boat ramp.
Assistant Morehead City Fire Chief Dykeman Baily said the explosion was likely caused by a fuel leak that ignited after a person attempted to turn the boat on while placing it into the water. The person turning the ignition, who Mr. Baily said is not the boat’s owner, was the only occupant at the time of the explosion.
The injured person was transported to Carteret Health Care, but the extent of their injuries and their current status was unknown. Mr. Baily said the fire was an accident and no charges have been filed.
The Morehead City Fire Department responded with assistance from the Beaufort Police Department. Upon arriving, crews got the fire under control “within minutes,” Mr. Baily said, and they cleared the scene within about an hour.  
Mr. Baily said the force of the explosion caused the boat to become partially disassembled. Though the damage appeared severe, he said he boat likely can be repaired.
