RedactedNarrative: On 7/24/22 at approximately 12:35 hours I was notified of a boat fire incident that had occurred near the Holiday Marina no wake zone.  GWFC 2 arrived on scene by vessel and advised that I go to the North Georgia Medical Center, Braselton to meet with the owner of the vessel and another occupant who were en route there by ambulance.
  
  I arrived at the hospital at approximately 13:00 hours and I met with Operator and Passenger.  They were both burned, but Passenger appeared to have the most serious injuries.  I spoke with both of them and asked what had happened.  Neither person was able to write a statement at the time but they did give oral statements.  They both told me that they smelled gas and lifted up compartment doors to see where it was coming from.  They said when that happened fire erupted.  They said they were rescued by people driving PWCs.  Operator said that he had just got the vessel out of the shop and it was its first time out on the lake since.  This event took place outside the no wake zone at Holiday Marina.  I later spoke with Operator who said that the vessel was worth $40,000 and was a total loss. 
  
  During this time, GWFC 2 interviewed a Witness at the scene of the incident.  He wrote a statement which was the same account as the other two occupants.  I called Witness on 7/29/22 to get his personal information but he did not give it to me.  His statement is attached to this report.
  
  This incident was recorded on my body worn camera.
