Coast Guard Air Station Barbers Point aircrews and Coast Guard surface assets respond to a vessel fire aboard the Miss Emma about 8 miles off Ko'Olina, Oahu, Sept. 17, 2019. After arriving on the scene, the HC-130 Hercules aircrew was able to vector in a 45-foot Response Boat-Medium (RB-M) from Small Boat Station Honolulu, and the boat crew successfully pulled all seven survivors from a liferaft and ferried them to shore. The USCGC Joseph Gerczak (WPC 1126) recovered the liferaft and remained on scene to ensure that the burning vessel did not become a hazard to local maritime traffic.
