ISLELTON, Calif. (KCRA) —
A yacht is now resting at the bottom of the Delta after fire consumed the cabin of the boat early Tuesday.

Residents at the Happy Harbor Marina in Isleton called firefighters just before 5:30 a.m. after they awoke to popping sounds and the glow of the flames.

"That was hot. With the wind blowing that direction, the embers were amazing," marina resident Eugene Quarton said. "Thank goodness the other two wooden boats down the way didn’t catch."

The burning boat sits in the first slip at the marina and reportedly belongs to the man who owns the Marina.

The only ramp from the dock to land sits right next to the burning boat.
