A yacht in San Diego, California, went up in flames on Thursday, and a drone caught the dramatic scene on video.
According to local ABC affiliate 10News, a fire was reported before 9:20 a.m. local time at shipyard Marine Group Boat Works. The $24 million yacht named “Polar Bear” was engulfed in flames, sending dark smoke into the air that was visible from across the bay.

About 100 workers were evacuated from the site, one of whom was treated for smoke inhalation. Nobody was injured.
Kurt Roll, a boat captain in San Diego, told Mashable that he captured the footage using a DJI Phantom quadcopter with a GoPro camera attached.
The exact cause of the fire is unknown, but workers told 10News it may have been caused by a welding accident. The yacht’s owner told NBC 7 he is “devastated” by the blaze.
