  On this date, I was detailed to Holiday Harbor Marina, Slip., in reference to a vessel fire. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the Complainant / Owner. He advised that he returned to his vessel and discovered a fire had occurred within the starboard side engine room. He further advised his battery power switch as well as the engine room light switch were found in the on position. 
  I asked him when he was last aboard the vessel.  He advised he was last aboard the vessel July 12, 2014 at approximately 1500 hours. He remembered shutting down the power switch as well as turning off the light switch. He further advised he had spoken with subject who had repaired his broken generator. He suspected subject had been aboard the vessel, and forgot to shut off the power to same. 
  I inspected the engine room. I observed the engine room light dangling from the deck surface. It was black in color and did not work. The surrounding area where the light had been mounted was black in color. Near this location was a Halon fire extinguishing device. The wiring at this location was melted. On the starboard side portion of the hull, I observed several pieces of wiring and wiring covers which were melted. They were black in color and covered with soot. 
  Ocean County Fire Marshal's Office responded. He viewed the damage and photographed same, reference OCFM report number 14-138. Fire marshal advised that the engine room light caught the surface paper on fire, which started the fire. He further advised the Halon fire protection device had activated, subsequently extinguishing the fire. He considered the fire to be accidental.
