RedactedNarrative: On July 10, 2018 at approximately 0930 hours, I Officer of the Maryland Natural Resources Police, was dispatched to a boat fire at Castle Marina. Upon arrival, I observed a large black cloud of smoke coming from Dock TH2. Stevensville Fire Company was on scene and had started to put the fire out. I asked a firefighter if anyone was on board the vessel and he responded, "No." The marina manager contacted the owner of the vessel and informed him that his vessel had caught on fire. 
  Owner arrived on scene at approximately 10:30 a.m. I asked Owner if he ever had any issues with the vessel. Owner stated that there was a power surge four (4) years ago but hasn't had any issues since then. Owner's vessel is described as a 50 foot 2004 Aqua Cruiser House Boat HIN ARB515DVF404. Owner stated he left his vessel around 9:00 a.m., headed toward Glen Burnie, when he received the call that his vessel was on fire. The vessel in the next slip also caught on fire due to the high flames on Owner's vessel. That vessel is described as a 43 foot 1993 Bayliner Aft Cabin HIN BVKA08EDL293.  
  I called Subject2 to let him know his vessel had been burned as a result of Owner's vessel and he is actively getting estimates for the damage. Owner was contacting his insurance company and is staying with his daughter at this time. The State Fire Marshall responded and was trying to determine the source of the fire. I will follow up with him and view his report at a later date. Pictures of the damage to Owner's vessel and Subject2's vessel is attached. All events occurred in Queen Anne's County, MD.
