Singer Marc Anthony’s yacht caught fire Wednesday night in Miami and capsized.
At 7:30 p.m., Miami Fire Rescue responded to the fire, which was docked at a marina on Watson Island. Two fireboats initially arrived at the sight of the yacht already engulfed in flames.
The team worked to extinguish the fire before it could spread to other boats docked at the marina.
„Boat fires can quickly go from a small compartment fire into an unstoppable blaze in a matter of minutes because of the material found onboard these vessels,“ Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said in a statement.
The firefighters used an oil-absorbent to soak up oil on the surface of the water in order to decrease potential negative environmental impacts, according to Miami-Dade.
There were no reported injuries, although two crew members were aboard the yacht during the time of the fire.
