火灾发生在下午6点前，地点是15街东侧1900号的劳德代尔码头（Lauderdale Marina），靠近15街渔业餐厅（15th Street Fisheries）。在消防员将火势控制住之前，大火迅速蔓延到两艘船上。

劳德代尔堡消防救援中心接到多起911报警电话，称码头燃料码头附近发生爆炸。目击者描述了一场巨大的爆炸，碎片飞溅，一艘船被火焰吞噬，随后蔓延到第二艘船上。

包括消防员和潜水员在内的紧急救援人员迅速赶到现场，控制火势并搜寻受害者。

另有五人被送往当地医院，其中三人受了外伤。他们的状况尚不清楚。

目击者回忆了一个混乱而可怕的场景。一名旁观者说，他们感觉到爆炸产生的震动，看到船的上半部分飞到10英尺高的空中，然后坠毁。

另一名目击者描述说，看到人们在火中走来走去，还有人跳入水中躲避火焰。

附近一艘船上的妇女玛丽亚·桑斯（Maria Sans）讲述了她和家人一起疏散的经历。她说爆炸震耳欲聋，火焰迅速吞没了码头，迫使所有人逃离。

附近一家餐馆的服务员塔梅尔·迪米亚提（Tamer Dimiati）描述了他在点菜时看到船爆炸的情景。他说，爆炸导致船的顶部飞离，然后火焰吞没了船。他冲过去帮忙，看到有人在水里，有人在火中。

来自现场的视频捕捉到强烈的火焰和浓浓的黑烟从船上滚滚而出。消防员迅速扑灭了大火，防止了进一步的破坏。

发生爆炸的燃料码头是一个已知的加油站。有关官员正在调查火灾是否在加油作业期间发生。

这是本月该码头发生的第二起火灾，引发了人们对该地区安全措施的担忧。

A deadly explosion at a Fort Lauderdale marina on December 23, 2024, left one person dead and five others injured, including three with severe burns.



The fire broke out just before 6 p.m. at the Lauderdale Marina on 1900 SE 15th Street, near the 15th Street Fisheries restaurant, and quickly spread between two boats before firefighters could bring it under control.



Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue received multiple 911 calls reporting an explosion near the marina’s fuel docks.  Witnesses described a massive blast that sent debris flying and engulfed one boat in flames, which then spread to a second vessel.



Emergency responders, including firefighters and divers, rushed to the scene to contain the fire and search for victims.



During the rescue efforts, divers recovered the body of a man who had gone missing during the chaos.  Authorities have not yet released his identity.



Five other individuals were transported to local hospitals, with three suffering traumatic injuries.  Their conditions remain unclear.



Witnesses recalled a chaotic and terrifying scene.  One bystander said they felt vibrations from the blast and saw the top half of the boat fly 10 feet into the air before crashing down.



Another described seeing people walking around on fire, while others jumped into the water to escape the flames.



Maria Sans, a woman on a nearby boat, recounted her experience of evacuating with her family.  She said the explosion was deafening, and flames quickly engulfed the dock, forcing everyone to flee.



Tamer Dimiati, a waiter at a nearby restaurant, described seeing the boat explode while he was taking an order.  He said the blast caused the boat’s top to fly off before flames engulfed the vessel.  He rushed to help, witnessing people in the water and others on fire.



Videos from the scene captured the intense flames and thick black smoke billowing from the boats.  Firefighters worked quickly to extinguish the blaze and prevent further damage.



The marina’s fuel dock, where the explosion occurred, is a known refuelling station.  Officials are investigating whether the fire started during a refuelling operation.



This is the second fire reported at the dock this month, raising concerns about safety practices in the area.
