RedactedNarrative: On 2/12/17 at approximately 1745 I Officer of the Fish and Wildlife Commission received a call reference a vessel fire in Pensacola bay. Myself and Officer (also FWC) arrived on scene, Officer (also FWC) was talking with the vessel operator and passenger at 129 Eufaula st. who had been transported there by good Samaratins. 
  
  	 I located the vessel which was South from where the vessel owner and occupant had been taken to by good Samaritans The vessel location when I arrived on scene was approximately 200 yards from shore, located directly behind a residence. At that time the vessel was actively on fire, 2 fire/rescue vessels were on scene attempting to extinguish the fire. It should be noted that both refused medical treatment/evaluation. 
  
  	 I spoke with witness and good Samaritan. They stated that they noticed the vessel on fire, the Father and son at the residence launched their jon boat and rescued the passengers from it. 
  
  	Throughout the accident investigation the operator stated that while V1 was under way from little Sibean en route to Bahia Mar marina they noticed smoke coming from the vessel, he stated that he shut down the vessels engines but the generator would not shut down and described its operation at full throttle. He stated they were prepared to get off the vessel when good Samaritans came to assist them. 
  
  	Tow boat U.S. removed the vessel from state waters and relocated it to Pensacola shipyard. State Fire Marshalls were notified and observed the vessel with me at Pensacola shipyard. End of report, nothing further at this time.
