RedactedNarrative: On July 29, 2018 at 13:11 hours, I responded to a complaint of a houseboat on fire at Beaver Creek Marina in Wayne County, KY. Upon arriving I met with my supervisor, Sgt. who had arrived before me. Sgt. had already taken photographs of the incident and was in the process of interviewing the owner of the vessel. 
  
  The owner stated he wasn't on the boat when it caught fire. While in Somerset, KY he stated he received a phone call from someone informing him of his vessel on fire. He immediately rushed back to the marina where he learned the flames had already been extinguished. 
  
  Owner stated he renovated the houseboat in April due to some water damage. The fire seemed to have originated from a bottom room of the houseboat. Owner stated that room had also been recently remodeled. Before he left the vessel for home, he had placed some power tool batteries on a charger in that room. There was also a fan and a dehumidifier running. He also stated about 2 weeks prior to the fire he had smelt one of the outlets in that bottom room getting hot. 
  
  Sgt. also collected another statement from a witness. Subject1 stated he heard the vessel was on fire and rushed to get fire extinguishers. He stated he got in a boat and tied to the houseboat to pull it away from the marina to prevent the fire from spreading. Once across the cove he tied the houseboat to the shore and assisted the fire department with extinguishing the flames.
  
  The houseboat was located at slip at Beaver Creek Marina. The N Dock is located over next to the boat ramp. That slip has electricity running to it. The houseboat was plugged into the electric from the dock during the time the fire started. 
  
  On August 10, 2018, I contacted Owner to see if his insurance company had come down to assess the damage. He advised they came down on August 7, 2018. He stated they couldn't advise how much actual damage was caused, but they are considering the vessel to be a total loss.

  ***Property damaged is estimated over $10,000.00.
