Teams from the Dubai Civil Defence have doused a fire that broke out on a yacht near Burj Al Arab on Friday afternoon.
"Three people were safely evacuated and no one was injured in the blaze," Dubai Media Office tweeted.
A video of the operation was posted on the official Twitter handle, with the authorities adding that it appeared to "have been caused by engine failure and fuel leakage".
