A fishing boat caught fire 300 meters from the sand strip on Praia Pântano do Sul, in Florianópolis, this Sunday, the 7th. It was the second case in two days, since on Saturday, the 6th, another vessel was hit by a fire in Balneário Camboriú, on the same coast. In both cases, the Port Authority and the Military Fire Department mobilized to fight the flames.
In the most recent record, there was no one on the vessel when the fire occurred, of unknown causes. The column of smoke and the mobilization of firefighters caught the attention of bathers who crowded the beach.
