RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 Stated to the Effect: I went down to the boat to go back out for a cruise on the lake. I noticed there was some water in the bilge. I flipped the switch to turn on the bilge pump and felt a flash of heat. The next thing I knew I was in the water.
  
  Investigation Revealed: Vessel #1 was docked facing bow in. Operator #1 entered his docked vessel in preparation to operate it on Lake Hopatcong. Operator activated the bilge pump by utilizing the bilge pump switch. It was at this time, an apparent electrical charge ignited gasoline vapors in the bilge of the vessel. This resulted in a violent explosion, which ejected Operator from vessel over his dock and into Lake Hopatcong. Upon my arrival I observed the son of Operator extinguishing the flames with a garden hose. The Jefferson Twp. Marine Fire Department Unit also responded to the scene. Operator sustained burn injuries to his hands, arms and face. He was treated on scene by members of the Jefferson Twp., F.A.S. Operator was then transported to St. Barnabas Hospital for further medical attention.
