RedactedNarrative: On Monday, November 25, 2019 I (Officer First Class of the Maryland Natural Resources Police) while on boat patrol on NRP874 responded to a call for a vessel on fire docked at Beacon Marina on Back Creek in Solomons.
  
  I arrived on scene at approximately 8:20 AM to see that Calvert County Fire Department was in the process of extinguishing the fire. The vessel was tied in the last slip on pier F and the upper structure was gutted by fire.The vessel name “Sarah’s Dolphin” run through the United States Coast Guard Port State Information Exchange database showed a Hull Identification number of TRJGC2460383. When this Hull Identification Number was searched through Compass it came back to a 1983 Trojan, 32 feet in length and white in color, Maryland registration 8496 C. 
  
  The Beacon Marina Dockmaster reported the fire at approximately 8:02 AM and stated that as he came out of his office he noticed a smell of something burning which directed his attention to the vessel on pier F in slip that was spewing smoke. As he approached the vessel he noticed flames building up towards the stern of the vessel. In moments the entire upper structure of the vessel was in flames. The Dockmaster stated that when he approached the vessel as it was on fire it was still hooked up to shore power. Information provided by the Dockmaster shows that the vessel is insured through Allstate.
  
  Anne Arundel County Fire Marshal arrived on scene at approximately 11:00 AM and after preliminary investigation determined the likely cause of the fire to be an electrical overload caused by too many devices being plugged in.
  
  Subject arrived on scene at approximately 1:20 PM and confirmed his vessel insurance information and stated that his insurance company would be taking a look at the boat within a week. He stated he would take the necessary steps to have the vessel moved from the marina to prevent it from becoming a hazard by sinking or leaking any fuels.
