On Sunday morning at 3 a.m. at the Booby Trap on the River strip club in Miami, a 95-foot yacht owned by Metro Boomin caught fire shortly after docking behind it at 3615 NW S River Dr. and began burning rapidly. No injuries were reported as a result.
Employees at Booby Trap noticed smoke coming from a vessel 15 minutes after docking, prompting workers, including Director of Security Michael Marhefka, to act swiftly, quickly evacuating approximately 10 guests,s including Metro Boomin as well as five workers aboard. Marhefka verified that smoke could be seen within the yacht and that the fire alarms had activated, prompting their decision to abandon the ship and evacuate guests and workers from its waters.
Firefighters were on hand at around 3:30 a.m. and began applying water and foam to put out the fire on board the yacht. However, despite this, their efforts did not succeed as the flames continued burning for hours before eventually sinking into the Miami River.
Fire authorities have yet to ascertain what caused the blaze, yet this incident reveals a dramatic and potentially hazardous situation for all involved. Metro Boomin and his guests, fortunately, escaped unharmed while their yacht was destroyed in flames. Authorities continue investigating what led up to this fire incident, with more details likely emerging during their probe. Contact us for fire watch services today
