RedactedNarrative: Vessel one (1) caught on fire while at anchor with no POB's on board. I spoke to Operator who is the owner and operator of the vessel. Operator explained all individuals were sitting on the beach with the vessel (FL6947LC) anchored just off the shoreline when he noticed smoke emitting from the inside of the vessel. He explained he attempted to get on the vessel at this time, but the smoke was too much and went back to the shore.
  
  I asked Operator what type of electrics were in use on the vessel at the time of the fire.  He stated he had an inboard generator running, A/C in the cabin, navigational lights, and navigational equipment on. (No persons were on the vessel when the fire started)
  
  The fire was extinguished by Sanibel Fire and Iona Fire and rescue.
  
  I spoke to Iona Fire, and they stated the fire appeared to have started in the electrical panel going into the cabin. (Vessel remained floating with no visible hull breaches and still had some electrical power)
  
  Tow Boat US was contacted and arrived on the scene. They took the vessel in tow and transported it to Cape Coral Yacht Club where Operator has a slip.
