RedactedNarrative: On 5/29/11 at 722hrs i was dispatched to a boat fire in the main bay area near davis wash. Upon arrival at 735 the listed vessel was no longer on fire. The remnants of the aluminum hull and engine were washed ashore and smoldering. I contacted the operator and passenger that were on shore. The operator and passenger had left their campsite which was east of davis wash on his boat and was heading to the apache lake marina for fuel. The first fuel tank ran out of gas and the boat came to a stop. He switched the fuel tanks when for an unknown reason the tank ignited. He said there were no flames, smoking, or electronics operating at the time. Passenger jumped overboard, operator tried to use fire extinguisher, but was unsuccessful. He said he had recent work done on the engine and the boat was operating fine. He has no idea what caused the fire. He estimated the loss at 3500.00. He was advised he needed to have the boat removed from the lake. The boat was not insured. Nothing further.
