Raging flames ripped through a boat parked in the driveway of a home in San Diego’s Encanto area Wednesday, sending plumes of heavy, thick smoke into the air.
The blaze sparked just after 11 a.m. in the 6800 block of Brooklyn Avenue. Aerial video showed the flames erupting from the boat as dark smoke blanketed the neighborhood.
Crews with the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department (SDFD) quickly surrounded the vessel and began to tackle the flames. Firefighters were able to contain the blaze to the boat and prevent it from spreading to the many homes nearby.
By 11:20 a.m., the flames were completely out and crews were mopping up hot spots. No injuries were reported.
The cause of the boat fire is under investigation.
