The Ocean One, a 75-foot scallop boat, caught fire at about 3:30 a.m. at the commercial fishing docks off Channel Drive in Point Pleasant Beach, according to Jerry Meaney, a local first responder who runs a popular Facebook page. The extent of the damage was not immediately known.<\/p>\n

The boat, which has previously needed rescue tows by the Coast Guard, received 21 violations by the federal agency in 2013, including a lack of fire extinguishers on board, a non-working VHF radio and an excess of items blocking escape routes. The boat was built in 1979<\/a>, according to vessel data sources.<\/p>\n
