Fire on The Conception Dive boat takes nearly 40 souls

‘One crew member was able to get out a brief Mayday call to the Coast Guard, reporting that 39 people were aboard. The distressed and garbled message was difficult to understand, but enough to initiate a rapid emergency response by the Coast Guard. Two helicopter crews were dispatched and several boats were sent to the scene, where they were met by several other law enforcement agencies.” Hear message below
