RedactedNarrative: On 12/26/18 at approximately 1400 hours a call was received that a vessel near the United States Coast Guard(USCG) base in Ponce Inlet appeared to be on fire. At this time I witnessed the USCG small boat leaving the dock with emergency lights activated. The vessel in question was approximately 100 yards from the base. The vessel's sail had been dropped and an anchor deployed. Owner/operator stated he attempted with no avail to put fire out with an extinguisher, then all persons on board abandoned ship safely. USCG and a good samaritan vessel retrieved all occupants from the water. All persons were brought back to the USCG dock. 
  New Smyrna Beach Fire Department(NSBFD) arrived on base to attempt to extinguish the vessel fire. Two NSBFD,a Volusia County Sheriff Deputy and myself went out to the vessel at anchor. NSBFD boarded the vessel, and successfully extinguished and made the vessel safe for re boarding. 
  Note: NSBFD stated fire appeared to have initiated in the engine compartment. 
  Operator / owner contacted Sea tow. Sea tow arrived on scene and towed vessel to Daytona Boat Works, located in Daytona Beach FL.
