WHILE UNDERWAY ON HAWKS CHANNEL INSIDE BISCAYNE NATIONAL PARK, HEADING SOUTHBOUND TOWARDS MONROE COUNTY, V1 CAUGHT FIRE. THE FIRE WAS CAUSED BY AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IN THE PORT ENGINE. MIAMI-DADE FIRE BOATS AND OLICE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED TO THE FIRE. BISCAYNE NATIONAL PARK OFFICERS ALSO RESPONDED. THE FIRE BOATS THAT RESPONDED EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. DUE TO THE LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER FROM THE FIRE EXTINGUISHMENT, V1 SANK AND STRUCK THE REEF. ALL FOUR OCCUPANTS WERE UNHARMED AND TAKEN TO SAFETY.
