Woman hospitalized after Long Beach boat fire

LONG BEACH, Calif. Officials found a 50-foot sail boat at the end of Gangway 16 with a large fire in the cabin area and on the main deck. There were two occupants on board, a 63-year-old woman and a 66-year-old man. Rescuers transported the woman to Community Hospital, suffering from smoke inhalation. The man was examined for very minor burns to his face and was released on scene. A resident from an adjacent boat suffered burns to his hand while attempting to put out the fire with a garden hose. The vessel was estimated at $180,000 value and is most likely a total loss. There were no other reports of injuries or damages.
