RedactedNarrative: On 05/07/2021, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission was conducting proactive patrol at the Ballard Park Boat Ramp, Brevard County, FL when I observed a vessel under tow by Tow Boat US. At the same time I observed Melbourne Fire Rescue arrive on scene. I made contact with Melbourne Fire Rescue who advised that around 4pm they received a call that there was a large boat on fire under the Eau Gallie Causeway. They were dispatched to put out the fire and the vessels ten occupants were uninjured and taken to shore by good Samaritans in the area along with Melbourne Police Department. This was determined to be an accident and not arson per Melbourne Fire Rescue. The vessel was towed away by Tow Boat US and, subsequently removed from the water.
  End of Synopsis
  After speaking with all agencies on scene I made contact with OP1 who briefly explained that there were ten occupants on his vessel when they were heading back North towards PAFB. Upon reaching the Eau Gallie Causeway they heard a loud boom as if they hit something and immediately noticed the fire. They had fire extinguishers on board which they used and contacted the US Coast Guard. Melbourne Fire Department arrived to extinguish the flames and Melbourne Police Department arrived to assist the occupants getting back to shore. OP1 advised that all occupants were uninjured. He also advised that they got gas earlier during the day. I also asked if they had their blowers on, and he stated they did.
