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.
Emergency dispatchers received a 7:45 a.m. report that a boat anchored in the bay some 200 yards from the Schoonmocker Marina had caught fire, said Captain Mike Martinez of the Southern Marin Fire Protection District.
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.
“Any burns can be rather serious, but she’s in stable condition,” Martinez said.
