Crews on Martha's Vineyard were battling a fire at the Coast Guard Station Menemsha's boathouse and pier on Monday.
The fire, which started at approximately 2:42 p.m., fully engulfed the boathouse, pier, a truck and trailer for a 25-foot boat, the Coast Guard said.
The station's 47-foot boat left the pier just before it became engulfed in flames, the Coast Guard said.
The harbormaster ordered boats to evacuate the harbor, the Martha's Vineyard Times reported.
There were no reports of injuries, but all available EMTs were asked to head to the site, as well as all Edgartown and Tisbury fire personnel, the paper reported.
About 22 crewmembers are assigned to the station.
