CLEARWATER, Fla. — Two Clearwater residents had to be rescued from a yacht on Saturday morning after it caught fire, officials said.

Clearwater Fire and Rescue, the Clearwater Police Department and multiple other agencies responded to the yacht fire just before 5 a.m., officials said.

The yacht was just west of Coachman Park and north of the Memorial Causeway bridge.

Two people on the vessel, who live in Clearwater, were rescued by another boat in the area.

There were no injuries.

The cause of the fire was unknown Saturday morning.

A South Tampa man turned to Susan Solves It after he said ADT told him he had to keep paying for a security system at his Hurricane Helene-damaged home, even though the system was so new that he never had a day of service.
