The " Tecumseh "
The Tecumseh decommissioned after Engine room Fire on December 15, 2019
According to a Monday media release, the U.S. Coast Guard responded on Sunday to an engine room fire that began on the Canadian cargo vessel Tecumseh.
It happened at approximately 2 p.m., while the 195-metre boat was near Zug Island on the American side of the Detroit River.
The Coast Guard diverted its Bristol Bay vessel to the scene. A separate boat and a helicopter were used to assess the situation.
The Tecumseh eventually drifted into Canadian waters, where a firefighting team boarded and extinguished the blaze overnight Sunday, after all of the Tecumseh's 16 crew members disembarked and were evaluated by local EMS.
