RedactedNarrative: Operator1 was operating vessel 1 on shearon harris reservoir on 5/21/14 at around 4:00pm. Operator1 was preparing to leave the lake to head home and had pulled the vessel up to the dock. Once tied up, Operator1 noticed smoke coming from under the engine cover. Operator1 grabbed the fire extinguisher and lifted the cover. The fire grew rapidly and Operator1 use the extinguisher to try to put out the fire. This did not work. The fire continued to grow so Operator1 untied the boat and pushed it away from the dock to keep it from burning the dock up. The fire department was called and arrived in 10 minutes.

From here the vessel was taken back to Operator1's residence. From here i contacted Operator1 to complete accident forms. 
  
  The vessel was a complete loss and did appear to have more fire damage to the starboard side of the vessel where Operator1 had originally noticed the smoke. All electrical components and engine parts were completely destroyed.
