A major incident has been declared at a seaside town where firefighters are working to control a blaze that's broken out on a '£6 million superyacht' and led to the closure of seafront businesses.
A spokesperson from the Fire and Rescue Service said at approximately 2.30pm on May 28 that crews were still hard at work at the scene, where the town's seafront has been cordoned off and the beach evacuated.
The boat, an 85ft superyacht which locals from Torquay, Devon, have commented online is worth £6 million, reportedly drifted out into the harbour after a fire broke out onboard just before 12pm and the ropes securing it to the pier burnt through.
