Firefighters were called out in the early hours of this morning after a boat started sinking in an Island harbour.

The incident happened at around 4am in Douglas when a fishing boat started taking on water.

The vessel was tied up alongside another boat at Red Pier, and fire crews managed to pump the water out of the boat, allowing temporary repairs to be made. 

Firefighters spent two hours dealing with the incident.
