The teams from the Abu Dhabi Civil Defence Directorate rushed to the scene after being informed about the blaze.
The firefighters managed to control the fire quickly. No injuries or casualties have been reported.
Colonel Mohammed Abdul Jalil Al Ansari, director-general of the Abu Dhabi Civil Defence, said: "The civil defence teams controlled the fire and prevented it from spreading to the other maintenance area that was packed with tools, boats under repair and other flammable materials."
