RedactedNarrative: On june 3, 2020 at 1629 hours, sgt. And myself responded to a report of a boat fire in the area of the ten lane boat ramp on the no wake buoy line. Sgt. Responded via lake patrol watercraft #39 and i responded by land. Upon arrival, i observed a beige vessel with a single male occupying it. There was also a second rental watercraft that was in close proximity. 
  
  I contacted the complainant who stated there was a female who was in the water hanging on to the ladder of the rental watercraft. Once sgt. Arrived on scene, he began to attempt to get the female out of the water. The female who was later identified as passenger 1, was only holding on to a personal flotation device. Sgt. Attempted to get the pfd around the female who was struggling to stay afloat. 
  
  With little help from the rental watercraft occupants, sgt.  Managed to keep passenger 1 on the water surface as she was starting to fatigue and going underwater. Peoria fire department arrived via their watercraft and began assisting in the rescue of passenger 1. Two firefighters were deployed into the water in effort to bring passenger 1 to their watercraft which has a lift gate. They were able to get passenger 1 out of the water without incident. 
  
  Sgt.  Towed the vessel which was in question to the ten lane boat ramp. Peoria fire department cleared passenger 1 who refused transport to the hospital and brought her to the ten lane boat ramp. 
  
  I spoke with passenger 1 who told me the following information. Passenger 1 said she had just purchased the watercraft and had just finished registering with arizona game and fish. They brought the boat out to test it and ensure it worked. Passenger 1 said they started to head out to the main bay when they began to have issues with the watercraft. They then turned the watercraft off and set an anchor.
  
  Passenger 1 said the vessel continued to drift out to the no wake buoy line as they were waiting for a friend to bring a truck so they could trailer the watercraft. Next thing passenger 1 remembers is the operator who was later identified as operator 1 attempted to start the boat and then yelled the watercraft was on fire. Passenger 1 said when operator 1 said the watercraft was on fire she burst through the pass thru window on the watercraft breaking it and then jumped into the lake. Passenger 1 said she did not have a personal flotation device on. 
  
  I then spoke with operator 1 who said he was operating the watercraft at the time of the fire. Operator 1 said they had issues with the boat and had shut it off. When he went to start the boat again both covers blew out and a fire started in the engine compartment of the watercraft. Operator 1 said the flames got so big he jumped off the side of the watercraft. That is when the rental watercraft approached and gave operator 1 their fire extinguisher. Operator 1 emptied that fire extinguisher and was able to get back on his watercraft. Operator 1 then used three more fire extinguishers he had on board to completely extinguish the fire.
