RedactedNarrative: On 20 July 2019 I received a call from TWRA Region 1 Dispatch that there had been a boat fire in Cypress Creek around 13:30pm. I responded to the scene and arrived at approximately 17:09. I found the vessel beached and tied up to a tree in front of a residence on Cypress Heights Ln. 
  
  There were no occupants or anyone around the vessel. I went and spoke to the homeowners who stated Calloway County Fire and Paris Henry County Rescue Squad had responded to the fire and put it out. The homeowners also gave me boat owner and occupant information and stated they had left the boat in the water and left the area. 
  
  While I was speaking with the owners a pontoon boat approached the area with boat owner Operator as well as 5 other individuals who all stated they had been on the vessel at the time of the fire. I spoke with the occupants and the boat owner who stated they were participating in the Fun Run Poker Run and had just fueled up the vessel at Cypress Springs. 
  
  Operator said they had been idling out from the marina for approximately 15 minutes when he attempted to bring the boat up on plane. He stated he felt like he hit something in the water and lost power. The boat than began smoking. 
  
  Subject1, who was sitting over the engine compartment stated it was an explosion and blew him up off the engine compartment. He stated fire was coming from the engine compartment and then it started smoking. 
  
  The vessel''s HALON System did not function. They anchored their vessel out in the creek channel and got on a different vessel. They stated they got the pontoon boat and continued with the Fun Run. They came back to the accident site nearly 3 hours after the incident. I inspected the vessel and could see that the ventilation system had burned and could not see any visible damage to the engine. Operator was going to tow the boat the next day and take it to a mechanic to see what had happened to cause the vessel to explode. I took pictures of Subject1''s burns. He did not initially seek treatment but on Monday July 22 went to the clinic and was treated for second degree burns. I also spoke to subject1 by phone who was an occupant and was burned as well. She did not seek treatment.
