RedactedNarrative: On July 22nd 2017, I officer of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, received a call from Sea Hag Marina about a vessel on fire. Once I arrived to the Taylor County boat ramp, I could see the black smoke coming from the vessel. I ran lights and sirens to the location and found the two occupants of the vessel. The two occupants had been picked up by a good samaritin. I checked for injuries on the owners of the vessel. I asked them to come aboard my vessel and asked them questions about how the fire started. 
  *He stated- We were just idling and we heard a loud noise and saw flames. We tried to grab everything we could and we had to jump off.
  I then asked him about the vessel and how much fuel was in it. 
  *He stated- I think it was a ventilation problem and the fumes built up and it exploded and they had just filled the boat up. He stated it was a "project" 
   I then gave him his options of getting it removed, He used Sea Tow to have the vessel removed. I followed up with Sea Tow and they had the vessel removed from the water at approximately 1700 hours on the following Tuesday July 25, 2017.
