29 AUG: More than 300 people were evacuated from a NZ tourist ferry on Saturday when fire broke out in the engine bay.
The vessel, operated by tourism company Fullers, was en route from the Auckland waterfront to Waiheke Island, a popular day trip destination.
Crew sealed the engine and automated sprinklers had extinguished the flames by the time fire officers arrived.
There were no injuries as passengers were transferred to another boat.
