RedactedNarrative: On 05/14/2016 at approximately 2005, I was on routine patrol when dispatch advised of a burning vessel in at Crandon Park boat ramp. 
  
  I responded in my patrol vehicle from Blackpoint Marina and arrived at Crandon Park boat ramp at approximately 2100. The vessel fire had already been put out by a salvage company and Miami Dade Fire Department and the first responders were leaving the area. I made contact with the owner of the vessel who advised me that when he tried to start the vessel, he heard a loud explosion from the engine and the area around the engine caught fire. 
  
  He then advised me that several bystanders tried to help him put the fire out using small fire extinguishers but were unable to. The vessel continued to burn until it was put out by both a salvage vessel and a vessel from Miami Dade Fire Department. I then interviewed the wife of the owner who provided a statement that was consistent with owners. He also advised me that he had no insurance on the vessel. The vessel was placed on the owner’s trailer and the owner then drove away with the burned vessel in his possession. 
  
  This concludes the boating accident report for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission accident investigation.
