RedactedNarrative: On 8-19-18 at approximately 1530 hours, I was on duty in Monroe County State of Florida. I was on patrol in uniform, in a marked vessel with Officers of the FWC. I responded to a call reference a boat fire off Jolly Roger’s at Mile Marker 63. 
  Once on scene I saw the vessel engulfed in flames and secured the scene asking all persons to get back to a safe distance. The vessel (FL3372FY) that picked up the owner of the vessel on fire. I asked the owner of the vessel fire to step aboard my patrol vessel. I identified the owner and had him fill out a sworn statement explaining what had happened and how the fire started. He stated to me that the engine cut out while on plane and beached the vessel and started working on the gas filter when he heard a pump turn on and saw a small fire start inside the compartment where he was working. He tried to put the fire out himself, but could not accomplish and called 911.
