RedactedNarrative: On Sunday, May 09, 2021 Sergeant received a call in regards to a boat fire at Lake Lanier Islands. Sgt. then went to the incident location by truck and I, Game Warden went by vessel. Due to Sgt. being the first on scene, he began talking with the operator of the vessel. Operator stated that his wife daughter, and sons were all aboard the vessel at the time of the incident.
   
  	Operator then stated, that the vessel always starts on the first turn of the key. Operator and his family dock at The Port of Indecision. Operator said that they got on the vessel at their slip and the engine fired right up. They then drove over to the fuel dock to put gas in the vessel. After filling up with gas, Operator stated that he had the blower motor on and then went to start the motor. Operator said that it would not start so he turned the key again and it still wouldn't start. Operator then went to take a look at the motor and did not see nothing out of the ordinary. Operator then switched the fuel tank that would be supplying the motor with gas. Operator then turned the key to attempt to start the vessel. It was at this time that the boat exploded and caught fire. 
  
  	This caused the vessel to burn to the water line and a PWC that belonged to Operator (was behind vessel) to catch fire. A portion of the gas dock also sustained damage in some places due to the fire and heat. 
  
  	Two kids were taken by air to Grady for treatment to 2nd and 3rd degree burns throughout their body. Operator’s wife was transported by ambulance to Grady for treatment to burns and lacerations. Operator and one child remained on scene until a family friend was able to pick them up and take them to the hospital. Once at the hospital, Operator was admitted for treatment of burns that he had gotten. 
  
  	According to one son, he was seated on the bow of the vessel, wife was seated towards the rear of the vessel on the port side, two kids were seated at the rear of the vessel on the starboard side, and operator was at the helm.
