Firefighters rushed to Key Largo’s Manatee Bay Club to witness a 60-foot boat engulfed in flames early Aug. 21.
A call came in at 12:40 a.m. of a docked vessel on fire at the club, located at 100 Morris Ave. The Key Largo Fire Department said crews quickly worked to bring the fire under control and extinguish the flames. Due to the intense heat, multiple vessels located next to the burning boat sustained damage.
The Key Largo Fire Department and Monroe County Sheriff’s Office said no injuries occurred from the incident. The cause of the fire is under investigation by the state fire marshal.
Monroe County Fire Rescue, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission and the U.S. Coast Guard assisted the Key Largo Fire Department.
