RedactedNarrative: On 8/31/2021, at some time around 2:30 PM, a 56 foot Johnson motor yacht named Revelation (DO1028527) partially caught fire in the area of Barely Basin on the bayside of Islamorada, Monroe County, Florida. Onboard the vessel were 2 people. 
  The fire broke out on the fly bridge and seemed to have started on a faulty wiring harness that led from solar panels on top of the bimini top down to the batteries of the vessel. The wiring harnesses merged the positive leads off each panel and the negative leads off each panel. (there were 2 panels) Of the two wiring harnesses, one showed more apparent heat damage than the other and it seems to be where the fire initiated/where the fault occurred. These wiring harnesses would have been resting on the bimini top fabric prior to the fire and the fire did quickly involve the bimini top fabric. The fabric in turn “melted” and “dripped” fire down onto the cushions under the bimini top causing them too (the cushions) to catch fire. 
  OP1 alerted PAX1 of the fire and they quickly collected fire extinguishers and OP1 was able to put out the fire using 3 B1 fire extinguishers. 
  FWC and USCG arrived on scene at about 3:30 PM and FWC took photographs of the damage and interviewed both occupants. 
  There were no injuries reported.
  Nothing further.
