On 10/16/2010 I received a call from dispatch stating a boat was on fire at J. Percy Priest Lake. The fire department responded to the call. I spoke with the boat owner by phone. He stated that he was trying to start his boat and heard a noise at his engine that was not consistent with it starting. He then noticed flames coming from the engine. owner and pet abandoned the boat. There were no injuries. The boat was a total loss. He did state that the boat had recently been worked on.
