"spokesman for Diamond Offshore, operators of the platform, said: "We have had a fire in the engine room.
"As a precaution we began down-manning non-essential personnel."
There were a total of 87 people on the rig when the fire broke at around 7pm and 32 have been evacuated, he said.
He added: "The fire is out and there are no injuries, everyone is accounted for.""
Good job those involved!
