RedactedNarrative: At approximately 1805 Orange County dispatch received information that a boat was on fire on the water at Patoka Reservoir. I responded to the scene and gathered information. The lone occupant of the boat had safely exited the boat and been given a ride to the Painter Creek boat ramp. Medical personnel checked Operator for injuries and found that he had suffered very minor burns to his right ear, right side of his face and neck, and right hand. Operator signed a release of treatment form at the scene and required no medical treatment from EMS.
  Operator stated that he was attempting to fill a denatured alcohol cooking stove in the cabin area of the boat. Operator stated the device expelled the denatured alcohol and ignited causing the interior of the cabin portion of the boat to ignite. Operator used an onboard portable fire extinguisher on the flames but was unsuccessful in putting out the fire. Operator then navigated the boat a short distance to the nearest shore and jumped from the boat. Operator stated the boat was being consumed by fire. Fire department personnel arrived on scene via boat and used additional fire extinguishers and managed to knock down the flames. 
  The units on scene attempted to tow the damaged boat back to the boat ramp. While towing the boat, the fire reignited causing the boat to sink near the no ski buoys close to Painter Creek boat ramp. The water depth at this location is approximately 25 feet.
