Police do not suspect any foul play in a believed boat cabin fire that killed three adults and one dog on Lake St. Clair over the weekend.
Three people and a dog were found dead early Saturday morning inside the cabin of a Chris Craft boat that was docked at the Fox Marine marina on South River Road in Harrison Township.
The Macomb County Sheriff’s Office said Saturday that 911 calls reported heavy smoke coming from the docked boat, and that the boat may have been on fire. The local fire department reportedly extinguished any signs of a fire upon arrival at the scene.
The three adults and dog were found dead inside the cabin. Neighboring boats reportedly confirmed to police that three individuals were staying on the boat at the time.
Detectives are still unsure if the three were living on the boat, or just staying for the holiday weekend.
Officials have not yet explicitly said that a fire caused the deaths, as the investigation is ongoing.

The Spirit Lake Fire Department and Arnolds Park-Okoboji fire boat were called to that location shortly after 1:30 pm.
The occupants of the boat managed to get off of it safely.
Authorities say the fire was out by the time firefighters arrived. The boat was towed to a nearby dock.
It's believed a mechanical malfunction with the engine may have been the cause.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources Lakes Patrol assisted on the scene.

A fully-involved boat fire was extinguished after the vessel went up in flames about 400 yards offshore at the Ke’ehi Boat Harbor near Slipper Island around 1:47 p.m. on Friday, July 2, according to Honolulu fire officials.
The 32-year-old local man who owns the boat was the only one on board at the time of the blaze, officials said, he was uninjured and refused medical attention.
The first HFD unit arrived at 1:54 p.m. and discovered a 20-foot boat that was fully involved with fire. HFD said State Airport Rescue Fire Fighters (ARFF) were then called to the scene because the area falls under State jurisdiction.
ARFF and its Rescue Boat 1 responded and brought the fire under control by 2:08 before it was extinguished at 2:12 p.m.
Ocean Safety lifeguards brought the man to shore via get ski at 2:10 p.m., according to HFD.
The HFD Air 1 rescue helicopter performed a fly-over of the area and did not observe any oil sheen on the ocean surface, fire officials said.
HFD said the Department of Land and Natural Resources Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation will be in charge of removing the boat from the water.

Officials are trying to determine what sparked a fire on a 36-foot boat Tuesday night at the north end of Lake Washington.
Crews responded to the scene, the North Lake Marina in Kenmore on NE 175th Street, at around 11 p.m. after receiving reports of a possible fire.
Light smoke was coming from the boat when first responders arrived, then flames erupted.
Officials say it took about 45 minutes to extinguish the fire
One person was aboard the vessel when the blaze broke out. That person was able to get off safely and there were no injuries reported.
Authorities say teams are now watching to make sure runoff from the firefight does not contaminate the water at the marina.

The 4th of July weekend draws boaters to the water in droves, all hoping to enjoy themselves and take in the fresh air. However, sometimes that air can be a problem.
“Unfortunately, because you are out in the open, people are lulled into a false sense of security because they figure nothing is going to hit them out in the open,” says TJ Martin, with the Parma Fire Department.
Martin says carbon monoxide poisoning while boating is more common than you’d think. In fact, just recently we learned it contributed to the drowning death of University of Cincinnati student and Strongsville native, Allyson Sidloski. 
Also, just last week, Coast Guard officers reported high carbon monoxide levels near the boat where they found 3 people unresponsive. All of whom, later died.
“It’s an odorless, tasteless gas so you don’t know it’s actually there until it’s too late,” says BM2, Nicholas Durfey, with the U.S. Coast Guard.
While when most people think of carbon monoxide and boating, they think of the back of the boat near the exhaust fumes. While that could be a problematic spot, it’s not always the main culprit. Martin and Durfey point out that in board engines, batteries, generators, and engine compartments all have the potential to release the dangerous gas. The way the boat is positioned on the water also plays a role is where the gas ends up. The important thing is knowing what to look out for, but unfortunately, the symptoms are similar to sea sickness.
Durfey says, “You’re not feeling good, you have a headache. You’re feeling nauseous.”
“Blurry visions, queasy stomach or nausea are things again associated with being on boats so we may misdiagnose those,” says Martin.
Both Martin and Durfey say the best thing to do is get the person to fresh air as quickly as possible and call authorities. They also recommend marine grade carbon monoxide detectors be installed on all boats, because most of the time you just don’t know it’s there, until it’s too late.
“If you’re in a confined space or if you’re up in it close, you’re not necessarily going to smell it but you’re getting a full face exposure to carbon monoxide,” says Durfey.
Martin says, “A lot of times deaths can be attributed to drowning when in essence they were quite possibly caused by carbon monoxide from the boat.”

A boat is considered a total loss after a fire on Lake Monona Monday night.
According to the Dane County Sheriff’s office, the fire happened just before 11:30 p.m. near the shore along the 100 block of East Wilson.
Someone called 911 saying they saw a boat on fire and heard people screaming.
According to a release from the sheriff’s department, the 17 foot 1976 Sundance boat died in the water and eventually caught fire.
The boat’s owner tired to put the fire out with an extinguisher onboard but the fire continued to grow.
ADVERTISINGThe three people onboard had to jump off the boat and swim to shore.
No one was hurt.

Three boaters jumped ship Monday night after their craft caught fire on Lake Monona, authorities reported.
Just before 11:30 p.m., the Dane County Sheriff’s Office, Madison Fire Department and Madison Police responded to a caller who saw a boat on fire and heard people screaming, Sgt. Kyle Keller said in a report.
The 17-foot 1976 Sundance boat was a few hundred feet from the shoreline near the 100 block of East Wilson Street when it caught fire, he said.
The owner unsuccessfully tried to extinguish the flames with an on-board extinguisher, but he and the two others had to jump into the water and swim to safety, Keller said.
The Fire Department Lake Rescue Team launched from Olin Park and reached the burning boat as it was slowly drifting toward a floating dock, spokeswoman Cynthia Schuster said. The rescue boat can deliver up to 500 gallons of water per minute, and it quickly knocked down the fire and used the water pressure to push the boat closer to shore at Law Park, where it was secured with rope.
The owner told firefighters he had recently purchased the boat and it was operating fine. After turning off the engine for a while, he attempted to restart it, but after a few tries, the motor flashed, sparking the fire and forcing them to abandon it, Schuster said.
No injuries were reported, but the boat was a total loss, with $2,500 in estimated damage.

Firefighters worked to put out raging flames after a boat caught fire at a marina on Lake Norman Saturday morning.
Officials said the fire happened at the fuel dock of the Kings Point Marina.
Channel 9 was at the scene as crews pulled what was left of the boat out of the water.
No one was seriously hurt in the fire, officials said.
“It is very important to listen to marina staff and follow all safety precautions while fueling,” Cornelius-Lemley Fire Department posted on Facebook.
