RedactedNarrative: On Saturday August 8 2020, I received a call about a vessel incident at Harbor Town Marina. I met with Cpl. at the region 1 office at Red Top Mountain Rd. and responded the incident location. We arrived on scene at approximately 14:21. When we arrived Fire, EMS, and Cherokee county sheriffs office were on scene.  The weather conditions were clear and hot. 
  
  The water had little to no current, and the water temperature was 84 degrees F and the air temperature was 94 degrees F. water conditions were calm with little to no wake present in the harbor where the incident occurred. 
  
  The vessel itself was a 37ft cabin motor boat manufactured by Cruiser Yachts. Registration number: GA0368 TF, and HIN number: CRSJFA70A101. The vessel was being operated by the owner. In his statement he had fueled the vessel up, and prior to starting the engine he had let the blower for the engine run for several minutes. 
  
  After the blower had run several minutes he started the engine and began to travel toward the lake at idle speed. As he was leaving the marina, the vessel's gas fumes in the engine compartment ignited and caused the explosion. 
  
  When the explosion occurred two people, who were located at the stern of the vessel, were ejected due to the blast. 
  
  Subject2 was knocked unconscious when he entered the water.  He was under for what they think to be about 20 seconds before he resurfaced. He suffered a slight laceration to his left shoulder. 
  
  Subject1 suffered some severe burns to the lower half of her body. She was transported to Grady Hospital in Fulton County to receive treatment.   She was transported before myself and Cpl. arrived on scene. 
  
  The operator of the vessel received no injuries. 
  
  The operator's wife was located on the port side of the vessel, she received minor burns to both legs.   She did not feel it necessary to receive treatment at the scene. Four others were all located inside the cabin when the explosion happened and they were all uninjured. 
  
  The vessel received extensive damage.
