RedactedNarrative: On June, 14 2013 at approximately 1411hrs, I was dispatched to a call reference a boat on fire, located at 1 ½ miles SW of bear cut bridge, Biscayne Bay within Miami-Dade County.  Upon arrival, I observed  a vessel , later identified as a, 1983 41' Viking,  bearing FL 8933MY, partially submerged and engulfed in flames.  I secured the scene along with Miami Beach Marine Patrol, until Miami-Dade Fire Rescue arrived. 
  
   Subsequently, the vessel sunk due to the extensive structural fire damage.  I advised dispatch to notify the Fire Marshall.  Afterwards, I made contact with the owner/operator, and shipmate.
  
  The owner/operator stated that he was traveling northbound south of the Rickenbacker Causeway, when he observed fire and smoke coming from the engine compartment.  Operator state that he and his shipmate tried to extinguished the fire, but they were not able to do it. They anchored the vessel and jump overboard, where a Good Samaritan picked them up out of the water (refer to witness statement). 
  
   There were no injuries sustained or reported. Sea Tow was contacted by the owner and assumed responsibility for vessel removal.
