  When I arrived, the vessel fire was extinguished and Charles County Volunteer Fire Department District 6, Cobb Island, was on scene working on the vessel.  No occupants were aboard the vessel at the time of the fire and no injuries were sustained. 
  The boat was a 1980 Silverton Yachts, Cabin Motorboat.  The boat was 31’ in length with a white fiberglass haul.  The most current registration for the vessel is MD 1509 AF.  The current owner was not at the location of the fire. 
  The original 911 call came in at approximately 6:32 am and Cobb Island Volunteer Fire Department arrived on scene at approximately 6:37 am.  The 911 call was made by a witness.  WITNESS stated that he noticed the fire while working in the area at approximately 6:30 am.  WITNESS called 911 and notified them that a boat docked at Captain Charles Marina was on fire.
  The vessel sustained significant fire damage throughout.  The cabin and interior of the hull were all charred in the fire.  The fiberglass hull was charred and melted.  The boat was still able to float and relocated by Tow Boat USA, to the boat lift at Captain Charles Marina.   It is unknown how much fuel was on board the vessel.
  I spoke with the vessel owner and informed her of the fire.  OWNER stated that the vessel had undergone significant renovations and improvements.  She stated that two electric space heaters and an engine block heater were onboard and running at the time of the fire.
