Sailboat anchored in Bodega Harbor burns

A sailboat anchored in Bodega Harbor went up in flames on Wednesday night, though Bodega Bay fire crews using their own boat managed to douse the fire in relatively short order, emergency dispatchers said.

The blaze was reported off Mason's Marina, on the north side of the harbor near Spud Point Marina, around 7:45 p.m. and drew local firefighters, as well as the Coast Guard, public safety personnel said.

The fire was not accessible from land, but firefighters were able to reach it with their department boat, dispatchers said.

There were no reports of injuries.
