Lumbermen Turn Rescuers

Steve Holmes and Steve Hautala, Fred C. Holmes Lumber Co., Fort Bragg, Ca., helped rescue the crew of a sport fishing boat that exploded in a local river, hurling five passengers into the chilly water and pinning a sixth beneath the wreckase.

The lumbermen were fishing on Holmes' boat early Saturday morning Aug. 5 when the nearby vessel exploded, possibly due to a fuel leak.

Witnesses said the blast splintered a side of the 30-ft. trawler, throwing the rear deck into the air and on top of one passenger, trapping him against a burning engine.

After helping Holmes pull one man from the water onto their boat, Hautala boarded the burning, fastsinking boat with two other fishermen from other boats. The three lifted the deck and rescued the man, who sustained a dislocated knee and a severe cut that required surgery.

"They just barely got back aboard and it went down," Holmes said.

Fishermen on other boats pulled the four other men from the water.

One of the four men tossed overboard suffered broken ribs and a broken sternum.
