RedactedNarrative: According to a statement by the boat owner, Subject, his wife awoke around 0130 and smelled smoke.  She woke him up and when he got out of bed, he felt that the bedroom floor was warm.  The bedroom floor contains a hatch that opens and exposes a storage area.  When he opened the hatch, flames shot out of the opening about one foot.  He then retrieved a fire extinguisher and put the fire out.  Subject tried to use a cell phone to call for help, but he did not have any cell coverage.  He then used his marine radio to call for help.  Some individuals at Stardust Marina heard his call on the marine radio and went to his location.  The individuals that arrived to help had cell phones through a different provider and had a signal.  One of them called 911 and notified them of the situation.
