MIAMI – Coast Guard crews continue searching for a capsized vessel in the vicinity of Luquillo, Puerto Rico, after a reporting source notified watchstanders of a possible boat fire Sunday morning.
A good Samaritan called watchstanders at the Coast Guard Sector San Juan Command Center around 12:50 a.m. to report sighting multiple distress flares, a vessel on fire, and the vessel then capsizing.
Searching are:
- An HH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew from Coast Guard Air Station Borinquen, Aguadilla, Puerto Rico.
- Crewmembers aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Key Largo.
If anyone has information that can help resolve this case they are asked to contact the Coast Guard at 787-289-2041.
Coast Guard Cutter Key Largo is a 110-foot patrol boat homeported in San Juan.
