RedactedNarrative: On Saturday May 23, 2020, I Trooper witnessed black smoke coming from Clear Creek as I was patrolling. I arrived on scene to find a vessel on fire floating near the entrance of Clear Creek on the right side of the shoreline.  There were no occupants on the boat at the time I arrived and the vessel was fully engulfed in flames.  
  
  A silver wakesetter boat pulled up with the occupants that were on board of the boat that was on fire.  There were 1 adult female and 2 males aboard the boat that was on fire.  
  
  After talking to the boat occupants, it was determined that they were sitting in the water at idle speed and were trying to get up on plane when the boat suddenly back fired bursting into flames.  The three occupants then jumped overboard into the water and were picked up by a passing boater.  The occupants of the boat were not injured. The boat was towed to Clear Creek Recreational boat launch to be assessed by the insurance company.
