Nearly Two Dozen People Were Rescued After A Boat Burst Into Flames In Hart Island
Nearly two dozen people are rescued after a boat bursts into flames in Hart Island, Bronx, New York, United States, on June 7, 2025. After 8 p.m. on Saturday, three people are pulled out of the water from the boat fire. One person is in critical condition, another is in serious condition, and the third is in stable condition. Nineteen others are able to swim to shore to Hart Island. They are transported to City Island to be evaluated. ''The boat, in order to fit that many people on it, has to be a pretty decent size boat. Marine 4 does notice them earlier in the evening and they say there are a lot of people on that boat,'' says FDNY Assistant Chief Mike Meyers. ''We have to get those patients from the water or the boat onto the land and coordinate the land units and EMS units as to where the marine boats are going to be bringing them, so it's an incredibly complex operation.'' The operator of the boat is taken into custody by police on suspicion of intoxication. (Photo by Kyle Mazza/NurPhoto)
