Huge Fire Destroys District Yacht Club [VIDEO]

WASHINGTON, DC — A huge fire at the District Yacht Club early Monday morning has resulted in a total loss of the building.

Firefighters responded to a fire in the 1400 block of Water Street SE shortly after 3 a.m. They found a large wooden structure that was "fully involved," and were able to knock down the fire with some assistance from fireboats, D.C. Fire and EMS tweeted just before 4 a.m.

No injuries were reported, but the building ended up being a total loss. The area was isolated, making it difficult to get adequate water supply to fight the fire, D.C. Fire and EMS reported.

Firefighters and investigators remained on the scene throughout the morning to put out hotspots and figure out the cause of the blaze.

"Extraordinary efforts by our crews contained fire to original structure, despite intense flames & flying embers, saving numerous boats," D.C. Fire and EMS tweeted.

The District Yacht Club is a membership boat club that has a clubhouse, marine railway and shop facility, according to their website.

"The mission of the club is to maintain a non-sectarian, non-political, and non-profit association for the members; and promote fraternalism, friendship and social interaction among the boating fraternity and club members and to provide a boating facility for our members and to encourage safe boating practices on the waterways," the site states.
