Joint efforts between the Rescue Co-ordination Centre Fiji and the Fiji Police WATERPOL Unit resulted in the rescue of two men outside the Suva Harbour over the weekend.
A 37-year old boat captain and a 36-year old crew member were returning from Beqa when a fire that is believed to have started from the engine room engulfed their boat.
A call for help was received where a co-ordinated rescue effort was launched, and a team from the WATERPOL Unit deployed.
