A Jonesport boat owner called the Coast Guard from shore Thursday when he saw that his 32-foot fishing vessel, Bigger Dirls, was on fire.
A crew from Station Jonesport responded to Hopkins Point Marina where the boat was moored. The Coast Guard used a dewatering pump to fight the fire and was aided by the Jonesport Fire Department.
After the fire was extinguished the boat was towed to the marina.
The cause of the fire is unknown and is under investigation.
