From the Coastguard Newsroom this evening

The Newlyn based Trawler Trevessa
"A 26 metre beam trawler is currently on fire 35 miles south of the Isles of Scilly with four people aboard.The trawler Trevessa which is registered in Newlyn made a Mayday at 4:37pm stating they had a fire in the engine room and had to leave the wheelhouse due to the amount of smoke and that they had deployed their liferaft.Falmouth Coastguard scrambled Rescue Helicopter 193 from RNAS Culdrose to the scene and requested the launch of the RNLI St Marys lifeboat from the Isle of Scilly. A broadcast to shipping in the area was also put out to vessels in the area and two vessels James RH Stevenson and the Billy Rooney responded and are now making their way to the distress vessel.Marc Thomas, Watch Manager, Falmouth Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre, said:The crew aboard the vessel has managed to seal off the engine room. They are currently in the process of being winched to safety by the rescue helicopter. The lifeboat and other vessels should be on scene shortly to assist and the fate of the Trevessa will then be decided."
I gather that everyone is OK and hope they manage to save her !
