RedactedNarrative: The deputy responded to Harriet Island Yacht Club private docks for an active houseboat fire. Upon arrival, the fire department had extinguished the fire and was putting out any hot spots that were remaining. The deputy spoke to the owner who stated that he left his houseboat at 12:40 p.m. to go to an appointment. 
  
  He was later called by his neighbor at 2:19 p.m. to let him know that his houseboat was on fire. He said there was no one on his boat when he left for his appointment and he didn't know how or where the fire could have started. The Fire Chief on scene said that his crew observed that the fire started from the propane gas intake to the refrigerator inside the cabin of the boat. The owner said he would make arrangements to remove the boat from the river and get it dry docked on land.
  
  The deputy attempted to contact the owner several times to get the hull number and boat information with no return calls back.
