Greek maritime authorities safely evacuated all 29 individuals on board a vehicle ferry after a fire erupted on its deck off the tourist island of Mykonos on Friday.

The incident triggered an immediate emergency response, with the Greek coast guard dispatching at least five patrol vessels alongside two specialized firefighting speedboats to assist the ship.

Those on board consisted of 28 crew members and one passenger.

Authorities confirmed that all individuals were accounted for and brought to safety without any reported injuries.

A representative from Blue Star Ferries confirmed that no personnel were harmed in the blaze and noted that crew members immediately activated safety procedures to combat the fire on deck.
