The key is in keeping the fire OUTside the boat...overhanging the water.

However, many boats have gas--propane, CNG or alcohol stoves in the
galleys. Yes, they do cause fires...but very rarely except when caused
by "operator error" (polite term for "system neglect and/or somebody did
something incredibly stupid").
