RedactedNarrative: Vessel caught fire as sea tow was attempting to re fuel a water pump. I learned that they spent most of the day attempting to lift the Sea Ray from the sandbar so that they could tow it in to land. They had 3 pumps on the swim platform of the partially submerged vessel, one on the port side, one in the center, and one on the starboard side. The center pump was a 3 inch pump, while the two on the outside were 2 inch pumps. There was a sea tow vessel tied of to the Sea Ray’s port side, as well as a Sea Tow Vessel on the Sea Ray’s starboard side. 
  
  I learned that three people were all on board the partially submerged vessel, while Subject1 was on board the Sea Tow vessel that was on the starboard side of the Sea Ray. While the Sea Tow employees were working, they noticed that the starboard pump had run out of gas, and was not currently pumping water. Subject2 was attempting to refill the pump, while it was still hot, and the gas ignited into flames. The fire caused burns to Subject2’s chest and abdomen area. Subject2 jumped into the water for his safety, and was helped onto the Sea Tow boat by Subject1. Everyone else went onto the Sea Tow vessels, and got away from the fire as fast as possible. The Sea Tow workers then called 911 for help and to report the incident. 
  The fire spread throughout the vessel, and caused major damage to the vessel. Fire rescue crews were able to put out the fire in a relatively short amount of time.
  
  Victim: Burns and blisters on abdomen and chest.
