On the mentioned date, time and location, I was dispatched to a vessel  fire.  At approximately 1800hrs, I arrived at the scene of the accident and made contact with the owner of V1.  According to Owner, he was not on scene when the vessel caught on fire. He was notified by a worker at Sea Isle Marina, where V1 was docked.  Shortly after my arrival, Miami Dade Fire Department put the fire out. Water pumps were placed inside V1 to pump out water from inside the vessel.  I conducted an interview with the witness who saw smoke coming from the port side of the vessel.  Owner then notified emergency response. Fire investigator Lt. took samples from the rug and from the bedroom for analysis.  Residue of Medium Petroleum Distillate was found in the samples. The fire investigator was not able to determine the cause of the fire or any foul play.
