RedactedNarrative: On May 25, 2020 when V1 had first arrived to Saylorville Lake the boat had some trouble starting. The individuals  drove V1 around the Lake before they decided to anchor in Party Cove and start swimming in the area. When they anchored they noticed a smell of gasoline and what appeared to be gas leaking into the lake. 
  
  The weather turned bad and it started to rain so OPERATOR 1 started the engine and it exploded. The occupants were thrown from the boat and 3 individuals received burns. 
  
  Witnesses near by loaded up the victims in their boats to transport to shore where medical help was waiting.  The cause of the explosion and fire is clear.  There was a strong smell of gasoline prior to OPERATOR 1 starting the boat.  When OPERATOR 1 attempted to start the boat, the gas fumes were ignited.  This caused the boat to explode & burn to the water line. No alcohol was involved.
