Flames tore through several boats and yachts at Seabrook Harbor and Marine in New Orleans Sunday.
The call came in at 5:45am.
"The first NOFD company arrived on the scene of... five boats fully engulfed in flames," Operator Gregory Davis said in a news release.
He says three boats were in dry dock on land, and two were in the water.

They called for more help due to the size of the fire and high winds spreading the flames.
"Winds carrying debris from the fire... ignited two more boats a good distance away from the original fire."
Davis says there were also no nearby fire hydrants.
He says that "created difficulties with water supply."
In all, 21 NOFD units responded with 55 personnel.
It took about two-and-a-half hours to get the blaze under control.
No one was injured.
