A yacht that caught on fire near a popular Miami strip club on Sunday prompted a swift response by rescue crews.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue arrived at the scene near the 3600 block of Northwest S. River Drive.
According to fire rescue, over 30 units were needed to extinguish the fire since the boat’s size and fuel load made it difficult to put out. Teams attacked the fire from the ground and in the water.
The yacht was located on a dock area behind the Booby Trap on the River strip club. The incident caused a large crowd to take a look at what was happening right outside.
One witness said the fire was unexpected and she never saw anything like that.
Another woman said people were really scared because the fire was so large.
After putting out the fire, some units remained at the scene to contain any fuel that could have runoff from the yacht.
No injuries were reported.
Crews are now working on a plan to remove the yacht.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
