"Flames were visible all the way from the bridge that is located about a mile away from where the boat was docked," Benitez said.

Benitez said the fire was quickly extinguished.

No one was on board the yacht when the fire broke out and no injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Fire crews responded to the scene of a boat fire in Biscayne Bay, Monday.

Two Miami-Dade Fire Rescue boats responded to the scene in the area of 88th Street and the Intracoastal Waterway. It’s about half a mile south of the Broad Causeway, near Indian Creek.

7’s Skyforce HD hovered over the fire as smoke filled the air.

Crews worked to put out the fire by dousing it with water and foam. They got the fire under control, and the fire is now out.

The boat, which is about 40 feet long, was on a lift, out of the water, when it caught fire.

A Marine Patrol officer was on duty in the area and saw the flames before calling in the fire.

There were no injuries.

It is unclear how the fire started.

The boat was a total loss.

Two people were burned when a boat caught fire and exploded on Lake Pleasant on Sunday afternoon. 

According to the Peoria Fire Department, four people were injured during the fire. Officials said this happened at the Scorpion Bay fuel dock, although it's unclear if the boat was fueling at the time. 

Officials said there was a flash explosion that immediately burned two people; a man in his 50s received burns to 70 percent of his body and was taken to a hospital by a helicopter. Another man was also burned but refused to be taken to a hospital. 

Officials said two others were treated on scene for smoke inhalation.

The flames from the boat, a 25- to 35-foot cabin cruiser, were extinguished with the assistance of Phoenix firefighters.

​Two people were injured Thursday evening after a boat explosion and fire at Solomons Yacht Club in southern Maryland.

Michael Franz, 38, of Westminster, was burned and taken to the hospital for treatment. His father refused treatment at the scene, Maryland Natural Resources Police said.

Police said quick thinking by the charter boat captain pulled the burning boat away from the pier and into deeper water.

Investigators are trying to determine what caused the explosion.

A man was treated for second-degree burns after a boat exploded in Calvert County Thursday evening and was towed away from a dock by a citizen as it was engulfed in flames.

Natural Resource Police spokeswoman Candy Thomson said that police received a call of a boat explosion in Solomons at the Solomons Island Yacht Club around 7:30 p.m.

A 22-foot Thunderbird powerboat exploded while it was refueling, Thomson said, throwing its owner Michael Shawn Franz, 38, of Westminster, into the cabin of the boat.

His father, Charles Franz, 61, of Glen Burnie was either thrown into the water by the blast or jumped in after the boat caught fire, Thomson said.

Michael was taken to MedStar Washington Hospital Center to be treated for second-degree burns on his legs, Thomson said.

Charles refused treatment by paramedics at the scene, Thomson said.

The explosion also saw a civilian drag Franz's boat away from the dock with their own boat, possibly saving the dock from catching on fire and potentially harming those nearby.

Thomson said after the rope tying Franz's boat to the dock was cut, Lee Tippett use his "Fin Finder" boat to drag the powerboat away from the dock.

Video of the incident shows Tippett dragging the boat out into deeper water as it is fully engulfed in flames and dark smoke billows into the evening sky.

The Department of Natural Resources regularly honors citizens who help during incidents where others' lives are in danger and Thomson said Tippett's effort "certainly rises to that level."

Investigators with the Fire Marshal's office returned to the scene Friday alongside police to recreate the incident and interview those involved to determine the cause of the explosion, Thomson said.

Officials say five men were on the long-line fishing boat at the time of the fire, and all were able escape unhurt.

The fishing boat suffered significant interior damage, but officials say it is not taking on water. It remains secured to the pier and afloat with no reports of any fuel spills or leaks.

The two were able to jump from the burning yacht to escape the flames. The mother suffered first and second degree burns to approximately 15 percent of her body.

King said sailing is his family's life, but now they will have to rebuild some of that life after it went up in flames. He was just glad his wife and daughter will be okay.
