RedactedNarrative: I RESPONDED TO THE AURORA BOATING ACCESS AREA (ARRIVING APX. 2041) AND MET SGT. 1 AND BEAUFORT CO S.O. ON LOCATION.  I IMMEDIATELY BURNED WHITE SKIFF WITH A BURN PATTERN THAT APPEARED TO BEGIN FROM THE CENTER CONSOLE AREA OF THE VESSEL. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE OWNER HAD NOT YET BEEN NOTIFIED.  SGT. 1 AND MYSELF MADE CONTACT WITH OWNER WHO THEN MET US ON LOCATION.  I RESPONDED TO OWNER'S RESIDENCE TO RETRIEVE HIS VESSEL'S TRAILER AS TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE. 
  
  WITNESSES ON SCENE ADVISED THEY WITNESSED A SUSPICOUS VEHICLE ON LOCATION.  HOWEVER, NO ONE RECALLS THE OPERATOR OF THE VEHICLE BEING NEAR THE VESSEL JUST THAT THE INDIVIDUAL ACTED SUSPICOUSLY WHILE ON LOCATION. 
  
  UPON INVESTIGATION, IT WAS FOUND THAT OWNER'S WHITE 1992 CAROLINA SKIFF WAS TIED UP TO THE AURORA BAA MIDDLE DOCK WITH THE STERN FACING WEST.  IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE BATTERY ON THE VESSEL, WHICH HAD BEEN RUN THAT MORNING AND THEN TIED OFF, WHICH CREATED SOME FORM OF A SPARK.  THE SPARK THEN POSSIBLY MIXED WITH FUEL AND OR OTHER VOLATILE VAPORS CAUSING A FIRE.  AURORA FD ARRIVED AND EXTINGUISHED SAME.
