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.
There were no injuries in the fire and the cause is under investigation.
“We need to listen to the voice of the people, right?”
Last summer, the Florida Department of Environment Protection considered adding amenities like golf courses, pickleball courts, and hotels to state parks across the state. After public outcry, the plans were shelved, but the fight isn't over for some Florida residents.
