  On 10/02/2016, at about 07:37 a.m., these 6 vessels, were docked/moored on Commencement Bay at the Tyee Marina located near Tacoma, WA in Pierce county.
   
  According to Law Enforcement, the Owner of V1, reported that on 10/02/2016, he and Occupant had spent the night on his boat.  At about 07:20 a.m., Operator started the boat to get the cabin heat going and to warm things up.  He said that the boat was idling for about 5 minutes before there was a large explosion and fire.  He and Occupant had to jump into the water to reach safety.  
   
  Both Operator and Occupant received injuries and drove themselves to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.  They were later transferred to Harborview burn unit in Seattle.  They sustained burns to their faces, hands, and legs.
   
  The fire appears to have been started from an electrical spark from V1's bilge pump.  The spark possibly ignited fuel vapors, caused an explosion, and then spread to the 5 other unoccupied boats nearby.  In total, 6 boats were damaged and 3 of them, including V1, sunk at the dock from fire damage.
