RedactedNarrative: The operator stated that he just filled up at the gas dock and was backing away from the dock when he heard a small explosion in the rear engine compartment and saw flames.  The operator put the vessel in neutral and yelled to his two sons on board to jump into the water.  Just as all three were in the water the vessel caught fine and engulfed into flames. The three swam to shore and called for help. The youngest child sustained first degree burns on his legs, was treated by EMS and later taken to Huggins Hospital for further treatment. 
  
  The gas attendant stated he filled the vessel with gas and heard the forced draft ventilation system on the entire time. The eldest son removed the gas cap and put the gas cap back on after being filed up with fuel. The operator stated the vessels had no past issues, was not smoking on and had no gas spills. The operator claims to periodically check the fuel lines and the condition of the bilge never encountering a problem or leak; however this was not check prior to fueling the day of the fire.
