PORTLAND -- A Coast Guard boat crew from Boothbay Harbor is being honored for its response to a boatyard fire.

The awards were presented last week for the crew's response to last month's fire at the Washburn & Doughty boatyard in East Boothbay. The crew evacuated two shipyard workers, helped relocate vessels from nearby mooring fields and enforced a 500-yard safety zone.

Young, Petty Officers 3rd Class Andrew P. Sparber, Brandon S. Mellul, Joseph J. Lanigan, Seaman Crystal J. Peters and Seaman Brent W. Blackwood.
