Three boats caught fire at a Lake Washington marina late Sunday, temporarily stranding two people on a dock, the Seattle Fire Department said.
The fire, near the Rainier Yacht Club on Seward Park Avenue South, was reported around 9:45 p.m.
In addition to the three boats, an overhead marina structure, essentially a roof on stilts, was ablaze late Sunday, said Kristin Tinsley, a Fire Department spokesperson.
At 10:30 p.m., Tinsley said there were no reported injuries, although a search of the area was not yet complete. At 11 p.m., the Fire Department said on Twitter that the boats could not be searched due to fire damage.
The two people on the dock were past the point of the fire and were “instructed to stay in place” until it was safer to come back to shore, Tinsley said.
The three boats were “pleasure craft” and pretty small, Tinsley said.
Shortly before 10 p.m., the Fire Department reported it had “water on the fire.” At 11 p.m., the department said the fire was under control in approximately one hour.
The fire was blocking traffic on Seward Park Avenue South, between Rainier Avenue South and South Fisher Place, according to the Seattle Department of Transportation. All lanes reopened overnight.
At least 11 engines and three ladder trucks responded, as well as fire boats from the Fire Department and Seattle police.

A person was rescued from a boat that caught fire close to Block Island, Rhode Island on Friday, authorities said.
First responders were alerted around noon about the blaze aboard the 38-foot vessel. The engine on the boat caught fire roughly 1.5 miles west of Block Island, and one person was on board, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
The person aboard the vessel was rescued by a good Samaritan, who helped him off the boat. He was then assisted by the Block Island Harbor Master, said Briana Carter, a petty officer for District 1 of the Coast Guard.
“There were no injuries reported,” Carter told MassLive.
The Coast Guard Cutter Coho vessel, alongside the Block Island Harbormaster and the Narragansett and Newport fire departments, responded to the scene of the blaze, according to Carter. The fire was initially extinguished by the operator of the vessel before he was assisted by the good Samaritan. However, flames soon erupted up again, authorities noted.
“Once it reignited, the Coho’s crew doused the vessel until Newport Fire and Narraganset Fire arrived on scene and were fully able to extinguish the vessel,” Carter said.
The boat was towed back to shore to Point Judith, a village on the coast of Narragansett, Rhode Island, according to Carter.
The Coast Guard did not say how damaged the boat was, but video of the fire showed a thick plume of black smoke and intense flames coming from the vessel.

Seattle, WA — Seattle firefighters were responding late Friday night to a blaze on Lake Union.

Crews say the fire involved two houseboats and two docked boats. All residents were evacuated.
Seattle Fire says the fire was particularly challenging because of limited walkways and weight limits on the floating docks.
Rescue swimmers were on scene in case anyone fell into the water and Harbor Patrol assisted with pouring water on the fire from the lake.
No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire is under investigation.

 A boat explosion at a Whittier boat launch Wednesday afternoon left a woman injured and a cat dead, and caused significant road and marine transportation delays, a city official said.
The explosion happened around 3:15 p.m., with the recreational boat “engulfed in a fireball” that sent a billowing cloud of black smoke into the air above the harbor, according to City Manager Jim Hunt.
A woman on the boat was burned and further injured when she tried to rescue a cat, Hunt said. She was evacuated by air to an Anchorage hospital but is expected to survive, he said. The cat died, he said. No other people were onboard.
The boat had just been launched and was tied to the float ramp when it caught fire, he said. The woman was onboard while her husband went to park the trailer, said Joe Corbett, acting head of the Whittier Police Department. The boat was an older model, likely made in the 1980s or 70s, and was about 28 feet long and made from fiberglass, he said.
First responders from Whittier, Girdwood and the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel helped extinguish the fire. Corbett said the blaze was out in less than an hour.
“It took a while to get water charged down the lines and all the way down to float, but they got water on it and on the dock — our practically brand new floats and dock system were on fire as well,” Hunt said. “They were able to push the boat away a little bit, and then it floated off to the east to the inside of our harbor.”
First responders in Whittier had already been responding to several unrelated medical calls, Corbett said, when “everything happened all at once.”
The tunnel connecting Whittier, on Prince William Sound, to roadways linking up to other communities in Southcentral Alaska was shut down for about an hour to expedite travel for first responders, and Hunt said the harbor was shut down for three to four hours. An engineer will survey damage to the dock and float, Hunt said, but the area was operational Thursday and officials plan to reopen the side that was damaged.
Just a burned hull remained of the boat after the fire was extinguished.
Corbett said mechanical issues were suspected to have caused the explosion. An investigation involving multiple agencies will be conducted to determine an official cause, he said.
