RedactedNarrative: On July 4th, Officer was conducting vessel patrol on the waters of Lake Talquin. At approximately 14:00 our FWC Pilot notified dispatch he had seen what appeared to be a PWC south of the dam, on Ochlocknee River that was on fire, with fire fighters on scene. I trailered my vessel and launched with Lt. at river front landing on crooked road where we were able to access the river and find the PWC.
  
  The operator of the PWC, was on land just upriver from the PWC, which was no longer burning. He stated he was in neutral, engine idling, while he was trying to call his friend up the river. He stated warning alarms sounded on the PWC and gauges started becoming erratic. He felt the seat becoming hot and checked the hatch to see smoke, he couldn't access his fire extinguisher because of the heat. So he jumped into the river. 
  
  Local fire was able to extinguish the fire before we were able to arrive on scene.
  
  We photographed the PWC and we were able to retrieve the remainder of his property from the PWC that he asked us to look for, the property located was a "Rolex watch" and "gold bracelet"
