PERSONNEL AND THE HOMEOWNER, LATER IDENTIFIED AS OPERATOR, WERE ON PADDLEBOARDS WITH THE CAPSIZED BOAT AND THE VICTIMS IN THE WATER, PADDLING BACK TO THE SHORELINE. ONCE EVERYONE WAS BACK TO THE SHORELINE, THE VICTIMS WERE ESCORTED TO EMS THAT WAS AT THE HOUSEHOLD. I SPOKE WITH OPERATOR, THE HOMEOWNER AND THE FOURTH VICTIM THAT WAS IN THE WATER. I ASKED OPERATOR WHAT HAD HAPPENED, OPERATOR EXPLAINED THAT PASSENGER 2 LEANED OVER THE BOAT AND THE BOAT BEGAN TAKING ON WATER. OPERATOR THOUGHT THE BEST IDEA WAS TO COMPLETELY TURN OVER THE BOAT AND CAPSIZE IT FOR BUOYANCY. THE VICTIMS LATER IDENTIFIED AS PASSENGER 2, UNIDENTIFIED, AND PASSENGER 1 THEN WENT ON TOP OF THE BOAT TO TRY TO REMAIN OUT OF THE WATER. OPERATOR THEN SWAM BACK TO HIS HOUSEHOLD, RAN INSIDE, AND EXPLAINED TO HIS WIFE THAT SHE NEEDED TO CALL 911. OPERATOR THEN RAN BACK TO THE WATER WITH A PADDLEBOARD AND PADDLED BACK TO THE CAPSIZED BOAT. I THEN ASKED OPERATOR IF THERE WERE ANY LIFEJACKETS ON THE BOAT. OPERATOR EXPLAINED THAT UNIDENTIFIED BEING 5 YEARS OLD WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH A LIFE JACKET ON BOARD. OPERATOR FURTHER EXPLAINED THAT THERE WERE TYPE IV THROWABLES ON BOARD. I ASKED OPERATOR IF HE COULD REMEMBER OR HAD PAPERWORK DEALING WITH THE REGISTRATION OF THE BOAT, OPERATOR ADVISED ME THAT THE BOAT DID NOT HAVE A REGISTRATION NUMBER TO IDENTIFY THE BOAT.
