A fan in a Daufuskie Island public ferry caught fire Wednesday afternoon as the boat was returning to Hilton Head Island, according to the Town of Hilton Head Island Fire & Rescue Division.
Fortunately, a fire chief was among the ferry's 50 passengers, Hilton Head division Battalion Chief Mick Mayers said.
Daufuskie Island Fire District Chief Eddie Boys used a fire extinguisher to put out the flames, which originated from a fan in the bathroom shortly before 4 p.m., Mayers said. The fire was out by the time the boat arrived at the Haig Point Embarkation at 4:06 p.m., Mayers said.
The fire, which spewed smoke throughout the ferry's cabin, caused about $1,000 in damage, he said.
No one was injured.

Most beaches are packed in August, but not Daufuskie Island. Only accessible by ferry from nearby Hilton Head, Daufuskie Island is the dream for families who want a beach vacay without cars and crowds. You travel everywhere by golf cart or on foot — from the pay-what-you-wish art galleries to the volunteer-run community farm. You can walk to the beach from many of the island's adorable vacation rentals. Outfitters can help facilitate kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding or even horseback riding on the beach. https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/travel/g44392660/best-places-to-travel-in-august/
