'Thankfully, a quick thinking member of the club, jumped into action and towed the boat out into open water to keep it away from other boats,' police said.
Several people were hurt in a boat fire at a yacht club in Braintree, Massachusetts, on Saturday morning, but more people could have been hurt if not for a fast-acting bystander, officials said.
Another boater saw the boat engulfed in flames and towed it away from the dock and the supply of fuel, fire officials said. That member was a retired police officer, according to the fire department. They didn't identify the boater.
