RedactedNarrative: On Saturday July 3rd 2021, we were on vessel patrol on Lake Lanier when we heard a call come out over the radio about a boating incident at Holiday Marina in Big Creek. We immediately made our way to the scene and were accompanied by Hall County fire boat and land-based fire service personnel. We came along to the Big Creek Boat Ramp courtesy dock where victims were being treated by paramedics, and I began getting names of the people aboard the boat. I did an interview with the operator of the boat. 
  
  He stated that he was driving the boat with his wife and two sons when the boat was running a little rough and then suddenly exploded. The vessel was completely engulfed in flames and was burning close to the shore in Big Creek. Everyone jumped out of the boat and were picked up by other boaters. Hall County fire personnel were unable to prevent the boat from burning all the way to the water line. Three occupants were taken to the hospital a male juvenile and an adult female along with operator. All the victims are expected to make a full recovery.
  
  A few days later a video of the event was released on social media. In the video it shows that there is a vapor explosion in the engine compartment that caused the boat to catch fire.
