Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) firefighters are working to identify the cause of a blaze that has destroyed three boats at a marina at Church Point on Sydney's northern beaches.
The fire broke out on board one of the vessels moored at the marina on McCarrs Point Road around 5 am. Flames spread from one boat to two others nearby.

Six FRNSW trucks and 22 firefighters arrived at the scene, and crews managed to prevent the fire from spreading to at least 20 other vessels.
Water Police and the Rural Fire Service, with two boats deployed, assisted fire crews. There was no one on board the burning vessels and no reports of injuries.
Hazmat firefighters
The boats were pushed to the shoreline to allow better access to the flames and minimize environmental damage.
Hazmat firefighters, liaising with the Environment Protection Authority, also established a boom to contain leaking fuel, oil, and other contaminants. The boats are carrying 1000 liters of fuel. An investigation into the cause of the blaze is already underway.
