RedactedNarrative: On the above date and time, officers of the baltimore county police marine unit; were dispatched to the baltimore yacht club fuel pier. Prior to arrival it was reported that the above described vessel 1 was fully engulfed at the pier.  Upon the officers arrival it was observed that a green and white sea ray (later identified as vessel 1) was drifting past the marsh grass of the sue creek point gate with ten  to twenty  foot flames rising from its hull.  This officer prior to approaching  the vessel  checked with the large crowd on the pier and was advised by multiple persons that no one was on board and that everyone was accounted for. 
  
  
  This officer then requested all commercial  salvage in the area to help maintain  a security zone around the vessel and to also close the  mouth of sue creek to all vessels.  Moments later baltimore county fire dept vessels arrived on scene where they began to extinguish the large fire, and place floating spillage booms in the area. 
  
  Commercial salvage then cook care and custody of the vessel where it was towed by and to the above listed commercial  salvage yard.
  
  This officer then returned to the pier where i was met by district  units and the victims and witnesses involved.  This officer spoke with two people who were both on vessel 1. They both advised while fueling at the pier they  noticed an unknown substance coming from the vessels bilge and into the water around the boat.  
  
  Subject1 stated he stopped pumping the fuel , he then called his wife over  and interviewee (fuel pier attendant) all parties questioned the substance that they had seen and commented on it to be possibly "soap  or suds" .  While all parties continued to investigate the questioned substance in the around the vessel the water around the boat ignited.  At that time both of the subjects quickly jumped off their boat and onto the dock, moments after they disembarked the boat (vessel  1) fully engulfed i flames.  Interviewee was seen jumping off the pier away from the boat (vessel 1). It should be noted that he was not wearing al life jacket and swam to a ladder and removed himself from the water on his own ability.
  
  A member of the baltimore yacht club then hit the emergency fuel shutoff valve, dock hands began to move the fire extinguisher cart towards the vessel.  As the flames and heat grew the current wind was causing the flames to damage the above listed vessel 2.  After a brief period of time a person on the pier decided to undo the lines and push the engulfed vessel away from the pier.  As parties were attempting to push vessel 1 away it was realized that the fuel hose was still on the vessel and the nozzle was still in the fueling goose neck not allowing it to drift away.  The hose was then forcibly removed and the vessel then began to drift away from the pier in the direction  and are of where i observed it upon my arrival.
  
  Two subjects on v2 observed and stated the same. They advised due to the heat and flames that vessel 2 received damage to the search light, fiberglass bow, rub rail; however, no injuries were sustained or reported.
  
  vessel 1 subjects were transported by commercial salvage alind with the remains of vessel 1 to the salvage yard.  It should be noted vessel 1 burned to the water line and received complete destruction.
