Yacht catches fire in Alimos marina

All three passengers on board the yacht "Geofun" were reported to be safe and well after a fire broke out on board at 3:10 on Sunday morning, while the yacht was docked in Alimos marina in Attica.

According to the coast guard, the fire started on the upper deck and then spread quickly to the rest of the boat. A security firm called the fire brigade, which sent five fire engines and 15 firemen.

The fire burned strongly due to large amounts of flammable materials until it was put out but did not pose a threat to nearby craft.

The coast guard has placed floating barriers in the sea around the yacht, which has suffered extensive damage and developed a list.
