Watercraft #1 was tied to the Treasure Island Resort and Casino Marina Dock B. Owner was in town at the time of the call and no one was on board the watercraft. Owner said they had installed a new refrigerator on the boat that day. Owner did not think that is what started the fire. Owner stated the fire started where the shore power from the dock goes to the boat. The plug in for the power is near the bedroom. He said no recent work had been done to the boat. The fire damaged the inside of the watercraft. Witnesses broke windows on the watercraft and used fire extinguishers from the dock to help extinguish the fire, and eventually had a garden hose running water into the boat before the fire department arrived. 

Witnesses were 10 slips down on another dock when they noticed bright yellow through a port window on WC #1. One witness ran to the boat and saw fire inside. He alerted others and blew the breakers. He broke the port window and used the garden hose while another witness came with a big fire extinguisher and put out the flames. They said the boat felt very hot and they went to the starboard side and broke that window and put another hose inside. They noticed the dock power box felt hot and the power cord was also hot.
