HAMPTON BAYS, NY — A blaze broke out in the early morning hours at a boat yard in Hampton Bays Friday, officials said.

According to the Hampton Bays Fire Department, two large boats and a camper were found fully engulfed in flames at the boat yard, located off Foster Avenue.

"The firefighting crews of 7-5-2, 7-5-4 and 7-5-7 worked diligently to put out the multiple fires with limited mobility due to the close proximity of the boats," fire officials said.

The investigation was turned over to the Southampton Town fire marshal, officials said.
