I was at the Gangplank Marina in DC the other year when they had a fire, it was on G dock and I was on C dock by the time I got to G dock the whole boat was engulfed. It doesn't take long for these to spread, the damage to the boats on either side was a total destruction to those also.
These fires are scary and can spread very quickly, they were lucky at the Gangplank because the metro marine fire unit is only about a city block down the channel. They responded quickly and had the fire contained with in minutes.
It doesn't take suspicous activity to cause this, an electrical short, an accident on board, etc.. can cause them.
