A fisherman's been pulled from the water at Peterhead harbour, after fire ripped through a trawler.

The alarm was raised on the Tranquility last night.

It took four fire engine crews an hour to bring it under control, while the local lifeboat searched for any crewmembers who'd jumped overboard.

One was rescued by the harbour pilot boat, and the rest have all been accounted for.

No-one else is believed to have been hurt.
