TAMPA, FL \u2014 Firefighters responded quickly after multiple boats caught fire in the Tampa Yacht & Country Club marina on Friday night, Tampa Fire Rescue wrote in a social media post. <\/p>\n
When Engine 15 arrived first at the scene, around 7:30 p.m., crew members saw heavy smoke coming from the marina, where a docked boat was on fire. <\/p>\n
Flames were pushing from the boat\u2019s interior cabin and, because of the fire\u2019s intensity, it spread to a nearby boat, TFR said. <\/p>\n
Both vessels were unmanned at the time of the fire. <\/p>\n
As additional crews arrived, firefighters worked to contain the fire and protect surrounding boats. <\/p>\n
Fireboat 1 and 19 played a key role in the response, attacking the fire from the water, while supporting crews operated along the dock, fire officials said. <\/p>\n
Through coordinated efforts, crews were able to bring the fire under control and safeguard nearby vessels, including one that sustained only minor heat damage.<\/p>\n
There were no reported injuries.<\/p>\n
Investigators with the Tampa Fire Marshal\u2019s Office are working to determine the cause of the fire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TAMPA, FL \u2014 Firefighters responded quickly after multiple boats caught fire in the Tampa Yacht & Country Club…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":193876,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[135,137,136],"class_list":["post-193875","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa","tag-tampa","tag-tampa-headlines","tag-tampa-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193875","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=193875"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193875\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/193876"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=193875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=193875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=193875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
