ABC News Austraalia reports that a 40-foot boat caught fire in Melbourne's Port Phillip Bay on Thursday afternoon May 24th, forcing two people to jump into the water to escape the flames.

Army personnel who were training nearby assisted in pulling the pair from the water and bringing them ashore.

Fire Rescue Victoria's MetalCraft Marine FireStorm 44 fireboat was dispatched to the scene and extinguished the fire.
