RedactedNarrative: On 08/28/2021 at approximately 8:19 A.M., Maryland Natural Resources Police, received a call from DNR Communications for a boat fire in the area of White Rocks Marina (1402 Colony Rd, Pasadena, MD 21122) on Rock Creek in Anne Arundel County, MD. I was advised that there were no injuries and both occupants were not on the burning vessel at the time, and Anne Arundel County Fire Boat 19 is en route.
  
  At approximately 8:30 A.M., we arrived on the scene to see the 32 foot Sundancer Vessel out of Sue Creek, MD. The vessel is white with a green Bimini top. No one was on board at the time of our arrival. We did not see any flames from the open cabin of the vessel. There was a large amount of dark-colored smoke emitting from the stern of the vessel. The smoke smelled electrical and seemed to be contained within the engine compartment or the vessel’s hull. There were burn marks alongside the port and starboard ventral areas on the hull. A Good Samaritan in the area had taken the two people on board the vessel to Fair View Marina (1575 Fairview Beach Rd, Pasadena, MD 21122) on Rock Creek.
  
  I met with the vessel owner, OP1 at the dock of Fair View Marina. OP1 said that he and his wife were leaving the creek to head home to Middle River and attempted to turn on their generator. The generator struggled to turn on, so OP1 put the vessel in neutral to inspect the issue. That is when OP1 said the engine compartment began to smoke and believed there was an electrical fire. There were no injuries reported.
  
  Anne Arundel Fire Boat 19 arrived on the scene and extinguished the fire aboard the vessel. The Sundancer remained at anchor approximately 100 yards off the docks of White Rocks Marina in Rock Creek. OP1 spoke to Tow Boat US to transport the vessel to Sunset Harbor Marina (1651 Browns Rd, Essex, MD 21221).
  
  On 9/15/21, OP1 advised me that the insurance company plans to more than likely deem the vessel totaled due to the damages. He is in talks with a mechanic to get a second opinion but confirmed that the repair costs will exceed $8000.
  
  All events occurred in Anne Arundel County, MD.
  
  This case is closed.
