VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — The Virginia Beach Fire Department is looking into what caused a boat to go up in flames early Monday morning.
Just after 3:30 a.m., crews were called to the 4100 block of Hermitage Point, in the Bayside/Thoroughgood neighborhood, for the report of a fire.
When crews arrived on the scene, they saw heavy smoke and flames coming from a boat anchored at the end of the dock.
Around 3:50 a.m., fire crews had knocked down the flames and were able to clear the scene around 5 a.m.
Officials say the fire caused extensive damage to a 37 foot Grady White boat. Flames and radiant heat also damaged the dock, a jet ski and lift.
No one was hurt in the fire.
