The fire on the ten-metre yacht was brought under control around 10 am, and forty-five minutes later they were still at the scene, due to the possibility of hidden fires on board.
One crew member from the vessel received first-degree burns, and was immediately brought from the boat to the shore by an emergency team from Porto Montenegro, where he was further assisted by an ambulance crew from Tivat - states the Tivat Emergency Services.
