      NEW ORLEANS — The Coast Guard responded to a vessel that caught fire approximately 4 nautical miles south of Perdido Pass, Alabama, Saturday.

      Watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector Mobile received a report at approximately 2 p.m. that the charter vessel Hoss Fly III was on fire off the coast of Perdido Pass.

      All eight passengers aboard were transferred to a good Samaritan vessel. There were no injuries reported.

      Sector watchstanders directed the launch of a 45-foot Response Boat-Medium crew from Coast Guard Station Pensacola to assist Orange County Fire Department in the response.

      The crew arrived on scene at 2:30 p.m., and the fire was declared extinguished at 2:49 p.m.

      The cause of the fire is under investigation.
