RedactedNarrative: "On July 5, at approximately 2010 hours, operator was aboard his vessel and attempted to crank it. He heard a loud pop and then the motor cover blew off the vessel. A piece of shrapnel hit him in the right arm around the bicep area causing a deep cut. The vessel then caught fire. Operator was able to put on a PFD and jump over board. A near by boater came to pick up Operator. Operator was transported to Bald Ridge Marina to receive medical attention. I secured the scene until Forsyth Fire personnel arrived. I traveled to Bald Ridge Marina and spoke to Operator. Emergency personnel advised me that Operator had a cut to his right arm that required stitches but he was going to go to the hospital himself. ,"
