KTVZ.com Central Oregons News, Weather and Sports Leader - Coast Guard rescues three from Oregon fishing ship afire: "TILLAMOOK, Ore. (AP) - The Coast Guard rescued three men today from a burning commercial fishing ship off the Oregon coast at Tillamook. The fire in the engine room of the 64-foot vessel sent smoke into the wheel house, making it impossible to call for help on the ship's radio. The crew had to use a cell phone to call for help before putting on survival suits and preparing to abandon ship."
