"The probable cause of the fire aboard the Dixie Delight and subsequent fire at Dock B was a fire of unknown source, originating aboard the Dixie Delight in the vicinity of the vessel’s electrical panel. Contributing to the severity of the fire and loss of life w ere the County and marina’s limited fire safety practices." This is the conclusion of the NTSB after their investigation of a fatal fire at the Jackson County Park Marina, Dock B. Just after midnight on January 27, a fire broke out on the houseboat Dixie Delight. Despite efforts by the owner and a neighbor to put out the fire, which likely started in the bulkhead between the vessel’s electrical panel and storage closet, the fire spread to neighboring boats and the dock. Police were on the scene within 10 minutes of the start of the fire with the fire department just behind them. When the sheriff's office arrived, they attempted to find a boat to use for rescue but were unsuccessful.
