Indonesian ferry catches fire

An Indonesian TV station says an
inter-island ferry carrying more than 700 passengers and
crew has caught fire near Borneo island.
District chief Wahyudi Anwar told MetroTV that rescuers
have pulled 10 survivors from a river outside the town of
Sampit, around 500 miles (800 kilometers) northeast of
Jakarta. The status of other passengers was not immediately
clear, the Associated Press reported.
Anwar says the vessel was carrying 706 passengers and 22
crew.
Boats are a main source of transportation in Indonesia.
