RedactedNarrative: On 06/01/2021, at approximately 0830 hrs., I, OFC of the MD NRP, was dispatched to Annapolis City Marina, located at 410 Severn Rd. in Annapolis, for a boating accident involving Annapolis City Fireboat # 36. I arrived at the scene at approximately 0900 hrs., and was met by Lt. of the Annapolis City Fire Department. Lt. explained that Fire Boat 36, a 2015 Metal Manufacture #36 with no HIN, was scratched on the starboard side of the vessel by the vessel that docks in the neighboring slip, which is located on the same dock at the Annapolis City Marina. Along with the scratch to the starboard side of the fireboat, there was obvious damage to the starboard side piling caused by forceful contact. The piling was left leaning toward the fireboat and possibly snapped at the bottom. (pics attached).
  
      The vessel in slip was a 2004 37' foot Sea Ray Sundancer 340 (HIN # SERT4838G405), displaying Coast Guard Documentation number 1165823. The name displayed on the vessel was, ''Frequent Flyer'', with a hailing port of Cambridge Maryland. It should be noted that the name of the vessel was recently changed to "Feelin'  Nauti."  Lt. also stated that he believed the accident occurred the previous day while the vessel was leaving the slip. Lt. obtained this information from an eye witness and provided me with name and vessel information of the witness. 
  
  The witness is also a slip holder at the Annapolis City Marina and was on his vessel located directly across the dock from slip at the time of the accident. Witness advised that he would complete statement but declined anything further. Witness's vessel is a 30 ft sailboat, displaying registration DC 2188 C, ''Seas the Day." Lt. also advised that he and his crew already buffed out the scratch to the starboard hull of there fireboat, but there was still a scratch located in the yellow and black decal near the waterline. The scratch looked to be superficial and not deep into the fiberglass of the vessel. Lt. advised that they were going to have the fireboat hauled out of the water by Bert Jabin Yacht Yard, located at 1730 Edgewood Lane in Annapolis Maryland, for it's annual haul out and would advise of the damage when the fireboat was out of the water. I gave Lt. the incident report number and contact information and his crew left the scene in Fireboat 36 for Bert Jabin Yacht Yard.
     
       At approximately 0900 hrs., I met with one of the owners of the suspected striking vessel, ''Frequent Flyer". Subject1 explained to me that he and a co-owner were leaving the slip the previous day and forgot to detach a spring line on the port side of their vessel. When the vessel exited the slip the line swung them back into the piling on the starboard side of the fireboat. Subject1 stated that Operator1 was operating at the time of the piling strike. Subject1 also stated that they did not notice any damage to the Fireboat at the time and had notified the property manager at the marina. I had Subject1 provide me with vessel documentation, insurance documentation, and written statements. Subject1 also provided License information for the operator who was not present at the time.
  
      At approximately 0930 hrs., I met with the property manager for the Annapolis City Marina. Manager    advised that he was made aware of the piling damage by Subject1. Manager also stated that Subject1 and Operator1 were new slip holders and would work out the cost of fixing the piling. 
  
  
      All parties were instructed to provide any estimates for damage incurred. Damage to the Fire Boat was estimated to be less than $1,000. Damage to the Sea Ray's swim platform was estimated by the Bert Jabin Yacht Yard to be $1,000.  
  
      On 6-9-2021, I spoke with property manager of Annapolis City Marina, and he advised that the estimate for the piling damage was $5000. This estimate did not include the required permitting costs. 
  
  All occurred in waters of the state Anne Arundel County.
