Lifeboat crew with Castletownbere RNLI responded to a callout out this evening (Monday 16 August 2010) to a 25-foot cruiser on fire seven miles off the coast of Castletownbere, off Adrigole Harbour in Bantry Bay. The 25 foot motor cruiser was located two miles south of Roanarrig lighthouse at the Eastern entrance to Berehaven harbour. The Waterford-based Coast Guard helicopter was on scene and recovered four casualties from the water. Three were pronounced dead at Castletownbere Helipad and one survivor was taken to Cork University hospital for treatment.
