A boat caught fire at the Tidewater Marina in Havre de Grace on Oct. 21 after gasoline vapors exploded, according to the Office of the State Fire Marshal.
Igor Vavilov, the boat owner, told investigators he had just finished refueling the boat when he tried to start the engine, officials said. Vavilov was on the starboard side starting the engine when he saw a large fire within the interior port side, said Oliver Alkire, assistant public information officer for the Office of the State Fire Marshal.
Vavilov said he remembered turning on the blower to remove gasoline vapors, but believed it was not on long enough, Alkire said.
The Susquehanna Hose Company extinguished the fire in 30 minutes with the help of Maryland Natural Resources Police, Harford County HAZMAT Team and U.S. Coast Guard , officials said.
After the fire, one Tidewater Marina employee was evaluated for smoke inhalation, officials said. The fire caused $30,000 of damage, officials said.
Gasoline fumes are highly volatile and are a leading cause of marine related explosions and fires. Gasoline fumes, which are heavier than air, can easily build up in a vessel’s bilge because of improper refueling or fuel system leaks, officials said.
To prevent these mishaps, the state fire marshals’ office recommends operating engine compartment blowers for at least 4 minutes and checking the engine compartment bilge for gasoline vapors every time before starting engines or generators.
Other precautions for refueling include turning off the engine, not smoking, and securing power to all ­electric motors, pumps, by turning off the main battery switch.

Two boats sank after they were consumed by fire at Ketchikan’s Bar Harbor early Thursday morning. Two firefighters sustained minor injuries battling the blaze.
In a statement, Fire Marshal Gretchen O’Sullivan says the incident was first reported just after 2:30 a.m. Firefighters arrived to find two boats engulfed in flames.
“Both boats sustained major damaged and both sank underwater,” O’Sullivan wrote in a news release.
The cause of the fire is officially undetermined, but O’Sullivan says investigators believe it might be related to an alcohol stove aboard the sailboat where the fire started.
Harbormaster Dan Berg says the owner of the 30-foot boat had just left when the fire broke out. Not long afterwards, the whole boat was in flames.
“Fiberglass burns really hot, and it burned through a couple of his tie-up lines, allowing the sailboat to drift over next to this boat he shares a spot with, which was a 28-foot Kingfisher aluminum boat. And that one burnt completely as well,” Berg said.

Flames also scorched the sail and canvas work of another sailboat, which sustained only minor damage.
Crews placed containment booms around the sunken vessels to prevent leaking fuel from polluting the harbor. Berg says the owners plan to raise and remove the boats in the coming days.
He thanked the Ketchikan Fire Department for its quick and effective response. He says it’s a good idea for boat owners to keep an eye on their vessels as fall turns to winter.
“This is a time of year where things like this happen,” Berg said. “People have heaters and heat lamps going in their boat, so they should make sure to check all that kind of stuff and also check their batteries and bilge pumps.”
Two firefighters suffered smoke inhalation. One was treated and released at PeaceHealth Ketchikan Medical Center’s emergency room. The other declined treatment. 
Nearly two dozen firefighters responded to the harbor fire with 10 trucks from all three of Ketchikan’s fire departments.
