RedactedNarrative: At approximately 0800 on 4/18/2020, Officer 1 was patrolling 4 Corners Marina when he noticed a bass boat on fire at the Hurricane Creek Boat Ramp.  Officer 1 informed dispatch and Rutherford County Wildlife Officer 2 of the fire and let dispatch know that the fire department was already on scene.  
  
  Officer 2 arrived on scene at approximately 0812 hours.  Officer 1 spoke with the operator of the vessel, Operator 1, and he stated that as he was launching the boat he heard a "compression pop" from the engine.  Flames immediately started and they attempted to use 2 fire extinguishers to put the fire out.  He was unsure what exactly caused the fire.
  
  Officer 1 took pictures of the vessel and a written statement from the driver of the vessel.  Officer 1 then passed all the information along to me to complete the report.
