<p>The Coast Guard has helicopters, small boats and a patrol cutter in the area for a search-and-rescue operation off of Santa Cruz Island, about 90 miles from Los Angeles.</p>
<p>The Ventura County Fire Department said on Twitter that it responded to the fire around 3:30am.</p>
<p>A photo tweeted by the department showing a boat engulfed in flames.</p>
