RedactedNarrative: On April 21, 2021 at approximately 1700 hours, a single vessel accident occurred on Gibson Creek within Putnam County, Florida. (V1) a 1983 46’ fiberglass hull sport fish, made by Ocean Yachts, power by twin 900 hps inboards. V1 was docked at Gibson Dry Dock Storage and occupied by operator/owner, at the time of the accident.
  
  OP1 turned on the onboard generator to power the vessels onboard water heater and kitchen appliances. Shortly after turning the generator on, OP1 noticed the cabin had started to fill with smoke. The smoke was coming from the cabin hatch where the generator is housed. OP1 opened the hatch and was immediately met with flames and smoke. OP1 attempted to put the fire out and was unable to.
