RedactedNarrative: On 6/24/12 i was contacted by hamilton county dispatch and notified of a burning boat while on geist reservoir.  I responded and found a blue cobalt burning.  Fishers fire department extinguished the fire.  No injuries resulted.
  During the fighting of the fire i remained on the water keeping boaters out of the area.  
  After the fire department was finished with the fire i approached and contacted subject who told me he was the last operator of the burned boat.  According to statements he returned from his morning boating, placed the boat on the lift and attached a battery charger/tender.  According to subject he then went in his house and approximately 20-30 minutes later was alerted by his wife that the boat was on fire.  wife then called 911.  
  Almost simultaneously while in contact with subject i was also contacted by another person. he was a passenger on a nearby boat and identified himself as the owner of the boat  i took  information and insurance providor for the boat and gave him my card while explaining the process to attain a report for an insurance claim. 
  wife called 911 and minutes later both the fishers fire department and i responded.  
  After taking written statements from both subjects i provided copies of the operators report of a boat accident as well as my business card with contact information.  
  
  Following the statements i photographed the boats and observed the blue cobalt to be nearly completely burned.  I also observed the pontoon adjacent to have received damage including burns and damaged paint/upholstery.
