A motorboat caught fire this afternoon in the waters off Peschiera del Garda, with the alarm raised around 1 PM. The boaters on board were swiftly rescued by a rubber dinghy from the State Police, which transported them to the port for further checks. Firefighters also arrived on the scene, extinguishing the flames and towing the vessel to a less trafficked area to ensure the complete extinguishing of the fire.
The rescue operations involved several units, including a patrol boat from the Coast Guard, which was already in the vicinity. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries, and no signs of pollution were detected in the surrounding waters. This incident highlights the importance of prompt emergency responses in lake navigation.
