RedactedNarrative: On March 13, 2019, I, was contacted by Corporal in reference to a boat fire on Jackson Lake.  Cpl. explained that according to Jasper County Fire Department (JCFD) all occupants were out of the water but the boat was still burning. Cpl. said the boat was located about 300 yards from Boat ramp.  I proceeded to Boat Ramp via patrol vehicle while Cpl. proceeded by patrol vessel.
  
  I arrived at Subject’s at approximately 2000 hours.  Upon arrival I talked with Subject.  Subject explained that the boat occupants and JCFD left the scene.  JCFD explained that the vessel had four occupants.  d all occupants went into the water and were picked up by a pontoon boat and taken to Subject’s.  They were all wet and cold while he was collecting information from them.  JCFD said the boat owner said he recently spent $5,000 on the boat (boat work) and that he put 25 gallons of gas into the boat.  
  Next, I looked up boat registration information for the boat owner.
    Three people jumped into lake Jackson from their vessel when it caught flame due to trapped gas fumes on 03/13/2019 at approximately 1930 hours. Operator attempted to put out the fire with a fire extinguisher, which resulted in a failure to extinguish the flames. According to Operator there were a sufficient amount of PFD'S on board the vessel at the time of the incident. All three occupants on board the vessel were picked up by a pontoon boat and taken to Subject's were they were inspected by Jasper County Fire Department for injuries and information. vessel was not recovered and was last seen aflame/sinking. There were no injuries or fatalities. Operator explained to me that he had recently done roughly 4,000.00 dollars in work on his vessel's engine. The vessel was without insurance at the time of the incident.
