Greece: Ferry ordered evacuated after fire

A ferry carrying 466 people caught fire in gale-force winds off the Greek island of Corfu early Sunday, forcing authorities to order an evacuation.

 

The fire broke out on the car deck of the Italian-flagged Norman Atlantic, traveling from the Greek port of Patras to Ancona, Italy with 411 passengers and 55 crew members on board.

 

No passengers were reported injured, and the ship was not in immediate danger of sinking, authorities said.
