A boat owner was injured when his vessel caught fire while docked in New Port Richey. 
Pasco County Fire Rescue said the owner was seriously injured, suffering second-degree burns on 15% of their body.
It happened on a dock at the end of Marlin Drive, in the canal community of Gulf Harbors, in New Port Richey. Crews said they arrived to find the 20-foot boat on a lift, fully involved.

Firefighters responded Sunday to a reported boat fire just off the Isle of Palms.
The Isle of Palms and Sullivan’s Island Fire Departments and the Mount Pleasant Marine Unit responded to the call, according to Isle of Palms spokesperson Deiree Fragoso.
No one was on the boat at the time of the fire, she said.
The boat was said to be a total loss.
No injuries were reported in the incident.
Fire investigators will work to find the cause of the fire.

Fire raced through an Alabama dock Monday, killing at least eight people and torching dozens of boats as people leaped into the Tennessee River to escape the roaring flames.
Scottsboro Fire Chief Gene Necklaus said eight people believed to be missing were confirmed dead. He said the death toll could rise as rescue workers access sunken hulls.
Thirty-five boats, houseboats and pontoon vessels burned in the fire. Some were docked for recreation, but for some the boats were their homes. Necklaus said the blaze was on the inland side of the dock, making rescues difficult.
Seven people were pulled from the water and treated for minor injuries, mainly for hypothermia from the cold water, he said. Some boats sank at the dock, he said, and some drifted from their moorings and sank. 
Jackson County Chief Sheriff's Deputy Rocky Harnen said efforts to find all the boats, account for all the missing, identify those killed and notify families could take several days.
“There were numerous people rescued,” Harnen said. “We’re trying to get divers down here to search for possible victims.”
Julie Jackson awoke to a crackling sound, in the boat that she, her husband and child have made their home for five years now.
They moor at Dock A in Jackson County Park, a row of boat slips normally mirrored by nearby Dock B on Roseberry Lake.
The crackling Jackson heard early Monday was a fast-moving fire that – by the time she got off her boat to look – had engulfed half of Dock B.
“I could hear people screaming ‘help me,’” she told The Gadsden Times, part of the USA TODAY Network. “I never want to go through anything like that again.”
Jackson said in 18 minutes the dock was an inferno.
Mandy Durham and her boyfriend were among those sleeping on boats. She said she woke up to screams and "popping" noises.
“We could see red through the window. ... All these boats have propane tanks and gas tanks, and that’s a lot of fire."
She said she saw people jumping onto a boat at the end of the dock, but the flames spread to that boat, forcing them to leap into the water.
"Water was the only place they had to go," Durham said. “It's just extremely sad. It's horrible.”

A person suffered second-degree burns after their boat caught fire in Pasco County Monday afternoon.
The Pasco County Fire Rescue responded to a call of a boat fire in the 4900th block of Marlin Drive in New Port Richey. Upon arrival, firefighters spotted a 20-foot boat "fully-involved" in the fire.
Firefighters say the person suffered serious burns to 15 percent of their body.
Officials are investigating the cause of the boat fire. Firefighters did not specify if there were other people on the boat at the time it caught fire.

A boat burned down near the Gandy Bridge in Tampa Saturday morning.
Coast Guard Station St. Petersburg crew members were the first to arrive on the scene, using dewatering pumps to put out the fire.
There were no reports of people aboard the boat when it burned down.
The Coast Guard crew was assisted by Tampa, Pinellas County, and Hillsborough County land and marine units.

The Coast Guard rescued three people from a boat fire about a half-mile offshore north of Billygoat Hole on Dauphin Island Wednesday evening.
The Coast Guard says three people were able to escape onto a life raft where the Coast Guard found them in the water.
The three people were taken back to shore where EMS was waiting.
Dauphin Island Mayor Jeff Collier says the three people are reportedly doing well.
The Coast Guard has taken fire crews to the boat to help put out the fire.
The cause of the fire is currently undetermined.
The following is a press release issued by the Coast Guard:
The Coast Guard rescued three people who went into the water after their vessel caught fire near Dauphin Island, Alabama, Wednesday.
Watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector Mobile received a report at 5:55 p.m. of three people aboard a 36-foot sport fisher that caught fire in Dauphin Island Bay approximately a half a mile north of Dauphin Island.
Sector watchstanders directed the launch of a 29-foot Response Boat-Small crew from Coast Guard Station Dauphin Island to assist the people.
The three people departed their vessel onto a life raft.
The boatcrew arrived on scene at 6:35 p.m., located the three people and transported them to Station Dauphin Island to awaiting emergency medical services in stable condition.
The boatcrew transported members from Dauphin Island Fire Rescue to the burning boat to fight the fire.

A late-night fire that destroyed a deadrise workboat off of the Honga River is under investigation by the Maryland State Fire Marshal. And two watermen are now out of work.
The 40-foot boat caught fire around 10:40 p.m. Saturday at a dock in Wingate, a small community in Dorchester County on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The Lakes and Straits Volunteer Fire Company was reportedly responding to a car wreck nearby when they passed the boat on fire at Powley’s Marina, known by locals as Wingate Dock.
Firefighters were able to get the fire under control, but not before it caused $70,000 in damage, according to the Fire Marshal’s Office. The deadrise belongs to Brandon Beville, who, along with another waterman, makes his living on that boat.
The fire happened right next door to the Honga Oyster Company, an aquaculture operation that does business with Beville.
Honga Oyster’s owner, Bill Cox, later helped move the engine off of the boat, and it appears to be salvageable. On Monday the hull was being assessed to see if it’s sound enough for a fiberglass replacement.
“It was a nice boat,” Cox tells Bay Bulletin.
No one was on board at the time of the fire, and there were no injuries. The Fire Marshal’s Office lists the preliminary cause as “incendiary,” but didn’t elaborate to Bay Bulletin, citing its active and open investigation.
Cox believes things could have been much worse, if the wind had been blowing a different direction. He says the wind blew the fire back toward the engine box, rather than sending sparks towards several other boats docked nearby.
For Beville, though, a man in his 20s with a young family, the future will be uncertain.
“He’ll probably get on someone else’s boat and save money to try and buy another one,” Cox says.

Three boats were destroyed and a storage slip was heavily damaged after a fire broke out at Grand Pappy Point Marina in Denison Wednesday afternoon.
Denison Fire-Rescue Battalion Chief Bruce Geilhausen said dispatchers received a report of a boat-dock fire shortly before 1 p.m., prompting a multi-agency response. Prior to firefighters’ arrival, marina staff were reportedly able to move three burning boats out of the dock house and took them to an empty stretch of nearby shoreline. No injuries were reported.
The fire drew crews from Denison, Pottsboro, Locust and North Texas Regional Airport — Perrin Field and was managed from both on the ground and on the water. Geilhausen said strong winds, the boats’ flammable-fiberglass hulls and a concern over environmental impacts complicated the battle with flames. The boat-house’s wood interior sustained extensive damage and the structure was cordoned off.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation by the Grayson County Fire Marshal’s Office and an environmental team from the U.S. Army Corp will monitor the clean-up process.

 A fire that burned primarily in the cabin of a 40-foot fishing boat in the Port of Los Angeles was knocked down 24 minutes after the first alarm Sunday night.The fire was reported at 6:09 p.m. Los Angeles Fire Department Fire Boat 2 began the attack with its water cannon, knocking down the bulk of the fire, the department’s Nicholas Prange said.
Firefighters extended hand lines into the boat to finish off the remaining flames, Prange said.
Firefighters searched the boat after putting the fire out and found no victims, Prange said.
There were no reported injuries.
The cause of the fire was unknown.
