RedactedNarrative: ON 7/21/2012 AT APPROXIMATELY 8:00PM, THE DOCUMENTED VESSEL, CAPT. BRANDON WAS TIED TO THE DOCK AT THE END OF SEABREEZE RD.  THE VESSEL CAUGHT ON FIRE AND BURNED WHILE TIED TO THE DOCK.  I WAS INFORMED OF THE OCCURRENCE AT ABOUT 7:00PM ON THE 23RD OF JULY.  I DROVE TO CAROLINA BEACH AND MET WITH THE OWNER ON THE 24THOF JULY.  HE TOLD ME THAT THE VESSEL HAD BEEN TIED TO THE DOCK FOR TWO YEARS.  HE SAID HE HAD COME DOWN THURSDAY AND CHARGED THE BATTERIES AND THAT WAS THE LAST TIME HE HAD BEEN ON BOARD BEFORE THE FIRE.  I ASKED owner IF HE HAD INSURANCE ON THE BOAT.  HE SAID HE WAS UNABLE TO GET INSURANCE DUE TO THE AGE OF THE BOAT.  IN MY OPINION, THE BOAT WAS BURNED BEYOND REPAIR AND THE FIRE HAD ALSO BURNED SIX PYLONS AND ABOUT FORTY FEET OF THE DOCK.  I CONTACTED THE FIRE MARSHALL who INFORMED ME THAT HE BELIEVED THE FIRE HAD STARTED IN THE LOWER FORWARD PART OF THE BOAT, BUT IT WOULD BE UNDETERMINED WHAT HAD STARTED THE FIRE.
