RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 was being operated inbound on the Chicago River. Operator lost engine power just east of Michigan Avenue Bridge. Operator noticed the smoke coming from the air conditioning vents. Operator was able to use the bow and stern thrusters to maneuver V1 to the Wendella Docking area below Trump Tower. Wendella staff assisted in tying up V1. Three hand held fire extinguishers from V1 were used with no success. During this, passerbys notified 9-1-1 and CPD and CFD were dispatched. 
  
  CPD arrived and observed the engine compartment full of smoke. CPD boarded V1 and were able to get the fire under control using a pump. All 5 passengers  were off the vessel and safely on shore. No injuries to occupants. CFD arrived and the fire was put out. The owner activated the fire suppression system after CFD arrived on scene.  
  
  CPD Officer was injured while putting out the fire, officer was struck by hose nozzle. Officer received minor injuries and was treated on scene by CFD Ambulance #41. 
  
  Towboat USA arrived on scene at approximately 7:30 PM and took 1 hour to pump out the water from the fire suppression efforts. Towboat USA removed the vessel to Larsen Marine in Waukegan, arriving at approximately 4:00 AM.
  
  On 7/26/18, I made contact with V1 owner/operator and issued him a written warning for unlawful operation of an unnumbered watercraft.
