A boat carrying seven people caught fire in the harbor near the historic Queen Mary in Long Beach on Friday night.
According to a Long Beach Fire Department spokesperson, firefighters were dispatched to the 700 block of Queensway Drive near the Hotel Maya just after 7:10 p.m. on reports of a boat fire.
Arriving crews located an approximately 30-foot boat fully engulfed in flames, the LBFD spokesperson confirmed to KTLA.
Footage posted to the Citizen App from across the harbor shows a swarm of police lights at the scene. While no clear footage of the burning boat was captured, smoke was seen billowing around the Queen Mary.
Of the seven people onboard the boat at the time, four were hospitalized, officials said. Their conditions are not known.
The other three individuals refused treatment; some were seen floating away in a dinghy by Long Beach Police Department officers shortly after the fire broke out, authorities stated.
The private boat was taken to a local fire station, and what caused the blaze is not known.
