#2 Looks like the fire's out...

LONDON-(Dow Jones)- A fire that broke out on an oil tanker after a pirate attack off the Yemeni coast now appears to be extinguished, an official at the company managing the ship said Wednesday. "It seems there is no fire anymore," said Andreas Louka, an official at Athens' Central Mare Inc., the company managing the 1 million barrels tanker, called the Brillante Virtuoso. "The crew is safe, the vessel is safe. There is no pollution," he said.
