Super Yacht Fire in Puerto Banus

A thirty meter super yacht titled Mama Lola had an onboard fire while berthed at Puerto Banus, Marbella, on the South-East Mediterranean coast of Spain at about 10:15 morning time of 25 November.  The fire was reported to have started in the cabin area of the yacht, with a thick grey-black plum of smoke rising up from the yacht.  Fire fighters and emergency services rushed to the scene, with the fire controlled in about two hours.  In a footage on YouTube a nearby yacht was seen leaving its berth to port-side of the smoke filled yacht for safety reasons.  The yacht was saved from the fire, although the damage inside, should not be little.

Motor yacht Mama Lola is a 2002 Falcon Yachts 100 as designed by Stefano Righini and produced from 1996 to 2004 in 25 units.  An evolution and replacement of the Falcon 92 the 100 was replaced by the Falcon 102 in 2005.
