Dozens of tourists are safely evacuated after their boat catches fire off Greek island of Rhodes

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greek authorities say dozens of tourists were safely evacuated from a boat that caught fire off the resort island of Rhodes. The coast guard says all passengers were safely taken to land after the blaze broke out about 300 meters (1,000 feet) offshore. Officials were not immediately able to say how many people had been on board. State-run ERT TV says the boat was carrying 82 people and no one was hurt. It says the fire broke out as the vessel was sailing off the island’s eastern coast.
