GoM platform fire extinguished

An oil platform fire in the Gulf of Mexico, about 80 miles south of Grand Isle, La., was extinguished Jan. 5. No injuries were reported, and four people aboard the Renaissance Offshore LLC platform were rescued. Investigators on scene determined there no pollution occurred, said Coast Guard Petty Officer Third Class Travis Magee. The fire was first reported at about 2:30 a.m. The four people on the platform "evacuated into the water" and were recovered by offshore supply vessel Mary Wyatt Milano, the Coast Guard said.
