JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (WFLA) — A man and his son rescue five of them and their dogs from a yacht that set fire to Jacksonville on Sunday.
The five and the dog were not injured thanks to the help of their father and his son on a nearby boat.
The St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office released footage showing black smoke and flames burning from the boat in the water before Jacksonville Fire Department firefighters 68 responded and extinguished the flames.
