A passenger ferry, Pee Jay V, carrying 60 people caught fire off the coast of New Zealand on Monday, officials say, but all those on board were rescued safely. The incident began at about 3:45 p.m. local time on Monday when a call came in from a White Island tour boat in the vicinity of the Whakatane Harbour, located on the North Island of New Zealand. Live pictures showed large flames coming from the vessel, and black smoke continued to billow from the ferry at 5 p.m. Police spokeswoman Kim Perks said all 53 passengers and seven crew members were forced overboard to escape the fire and smoke. Transport Accident Investigation Commission will look into what caused the blaze on the boat when the trouble at sea occurred on Monday afternoon.
