RedactedNarrative: Witness # 1 Stated in effect: I saw a small fire coming from engine compartment and attempted to extinguish the fire by dumping water on it.
   
  Investigation Revealed: V1 was moored unoccupied in its slip at New Belford Compton Creek facing a westerly direction. A small electrical fire ignited in the engine compartment due to a faulty battery charger.  Belford Fire Department responded to the scene and extinguished the fire, as a result V1 sunk in its slip. V1 sustained damage to engine, engine compartment and port side gunwale. V1 also sustained water damage due to the stern of the vessel being submerged. There was no discharge of petroleum  products observed in the waterway. V1 was pumped out, raised and secured in its slip. Nothing suspicious noted, this fire was deemed accidental by the Belford Fire Department.
