RedactedNarrative: On Sunday September 03, 2018 at about 1701 hours, I was dispatched to the area of Roadrunner Island located on the east side of the 10-Lane boat ramp and Lake Pleasant Regional Park reference a boat fire. While en route to the location I activated my body worn camera as I was being given better directions to the actual location of the boat fire. 
  
  When I arrived on scene which was the southwest shoreline of Roadrunner Island, now exposed from the water, I made contact with the operator. She told me and Sgt. she had been on the personal watercraft about an hour before when she came into shore for lunch. After she ate she got back on the personal watercraft pushed off the shoreline and attempted to start it. She said she did this two times with negative results before she looked back at the family on shore and they told her to try and start it again. When she pushed the start button the third time the personal watercraft exploded into flames and she tipped to the side when the seat was blown upward. She was then blown upward about two feet before falling into the lake. According to one of her family members, several people rushed out into the water to get her and they flipped the personal watercraft over putting out the flames.
  
  
  Peoria Fire Department arrived on scene as requested, and attempted to complete an examination, however she refused and such treatment to them. I noted the only injury that could be seen was a small abrasion on the interior right calf. There were no flash burns to her body and she was not in any pain. 
  
  I looked over the personal watercraft and could see there was extensive damage to the hull consistent with and explosion of some type. I noted the melted floatation foam in the bow of the hull had been melted as well as several of the hoses and filters. Going toward the stern of the hull there was a bilateral crack in the topcap part of the hull that ran almost the length of the hull which stopped just behind where the operator would be sitting. Looking into the space under the seat I could see a large crack and separation of the fiberglass bulkhead going across this section and matching the same lateral crack on the starboard side running forward on the port side. This damage would be considered a total loss for the watercraft.
  
  I was able to make contact with owner’s daughter. She was able to give me his information and phone number. She also told me she had already notified him of the incident before my arrival. She was given my business card with the report number and my contact information if needed by her father. The family had already placed the personal watercraft back on the trailer and were putting the broken pieces in the back of the truck. She asked if the personal watercraft would be ok on the trailer the way it was and I told all she would have to do is make sure the transom was tied down and put one strap over the broken steering component and they should be fine.
  
  
  Nothing further
