APOLLO BEACH, Fla. — Crews battled a sailboat fire in Apollo Beach on Tuesday.

Hillsborough County Fire Rescue says the 45-foot sailboat was on fire while docked behind a home on Chipaway Drive.

Officials used a fire boat to fight the flames from the water alongside crews on land.

Firefighters fought the blaze for more than an hour before they fully extinguished it.
