Fire Rescue crews on Sunday worked to put out a sailboat fire in Fort Lauderdale. According to Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue, at around 6 a.m., crews received several 911 calls about a boat that was on fire near the 100 block of Hendricks Isle.
Once at the scene, crews found a 60-foot catamaran sailboat that was on fire. Fire rescue said that the fire quickly spread around the boat, and it took them about 30 minutes to control the fire and another hour to fully knock it down.
No one was on board the vessel. “You know, the adrenaline is always pumping on the way to a job like this,” said Jonathan LaPadula, a captain at Sea Tow. LaPadula told NBC6 he saw the flames roaring from the boat as he arrived.
