RedactedNarrative: While on call on Sunday May 10, 2015, was contacted by kent com in reference to a boat on fire at the Inlet. They advised that everyone was safe and on land and the fire company was on the way. I responded to the area where Ranger was already on scene along with the fire company. The boat was tied up to the courtesy dock at this time but was pulled out of the water at dry stacks shortly thereafter. 
  
  I made contact with the operator of the vessel who advised that he had put his vessel in the water for the first time this season at Sunset marina at approx. 1330 hrs that day. Operator advised he then had an issue with the starboard side impeller and had that fixed before leaving the marina at approx. 1930 hrs to go to Indian River Marina where he keeps his boat for the summer. 
  
  On board the 28'' Albemarle was his two sons. Operator advised that at approx. 2100 he entered the Indian River Inlet and proceeded to the North shore marina. Operator advised that after coming in the marina and coming up on E dock that one of his sons stated that they smelled smoke. Operator stated that at this time the Port side engine alarm started going off stating that it was over heating. Operator advised he could then see smoke coming from the engine hatch. He stated he could then hear a crackling noise and realized that the boat was on fire. Operator then told his sons that they were going to have to jump overboard and swim to the end of E dock which was approx. 25 yards away at this time. All three jumped over board and Operator stayed with his younger son who was wearing his life jacket. All three made it safely back to the dock with no injuries. 
  
  Marina staff did retrieve the boat prior to arrival of fire company where the fire company put out the remaining fire that was not extinguished by the on board fire suppression system. 
  
  Upon examination of the vessel after it was pulled from the water it was clear that the port side inboard motor was the cause of the fire. The port side motor was burned along with some of fiberglass. Pictures were collected.
