A fire engulfed the second story of a Lido Isle home Wednesday evening during the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade, authorities said.

No one was injured, according to the Newport Beach Fire Department.

The blaze became visible to parade spectators just before 7 p.m., according to an email from Newport Beach resident Peggy Palmer, who filmed the fire on her cell phone.

The fire began after the opening night fireworks display, Palmer said, but it wasn’t clear what started it, according to the fire department. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
