A 35-foot boat docked at a pier at Pocahontas Marina in Edgewater caught fire on Thursday, a spokesman for the Anne Arundel County Fire Department said.
A passerby called 911 around 9:04 p.m. reporting smoke and a popping sound coming from a 35-foot pleasure cruiser docked near Pier A of the marina, in the 3300 block of Pocahontas Drive, Lt. Erik Kornmeyer said.
Twenty-seven firefighters were able to bring the blaze under control in around 20 mintues
No one was aboard the boat at the time of the fire and the flames were contained to a small area of the galley, Kornmeyer said.
No one was injured. The blaze is estimated to have caused around $10,000 in damage to the boat, fire officials said Friday morning.
No other boats were damaged.
The cause of the fire is believed to be electrical in nature, fire officials said.
