Fire crews have determined a model Ferrari that was being charged sparked a blaze that destroyed a waterfront home near Lions Bay late Friday night.

A fireboat from Vancouver had to be called in to assist in fighting the blaze due to a lack of hydrants in the Strachan Point area where the home is located.

The flames fully engulfed the home and a garage with two cars parked inside.

Lions Bay Fire Rescue chief Andrew Oliver said the person renting the mansion was charging the battery of a model Ferrari in the garage when a blaze broke out.

No one was injured in the fire, but the home was destroyed.

Crews were called out again Sunday morning after the remaining structure flared up.

Strachan Point residents pay no municipal taxes, which means they have to pay for emergency services if there is a fire.

However, Oliver said the renter did have insurance, which will cover the cost.
