A fire broke out in a vehicle on a ferry operating between Oban in Argyll and Castlebay in Barra in the Western Isles.
A volunteer crew from the Tobermory lifeboat helped local firefighters reach the blaze on the MV Isle of Lewis after being alerted at about 15:25.
The RNLI confirmed the fire started on the vehicle deck in what is believed to have been a campervan.
It was brought under control by ferry crewmembers.
Three members of the Scottish Fire and Rescue service and one member of the Tobermory coastguard team were transported to the vessel.
