RedactedNarrative: This is a single vessel accident. Vessel 1 had just fueled up and was traveling south in the Safe Harbor Channel toward the Atlantic Ocean. An explosion took place on Vessel 1. The explosion burned Occupant 1 and the Operator. Occupant 1 received second and third degree burns on 10%-15% of his body. The Operator received first and second degree burns on 5% of his body. 
  
  As V1 was traveling down the channel Victim3 opened the door to the cuddy cabin and stuck his head in to get out of the wind so he could light a cigar. Victim3 struck his lighter and ignited fuel vapors that had been trapped in the cabin from the recent fuel up. The vapors traveled through an open hole next to the sink and into the wall of the cuddy cabin. The ignition continued inside the wall down into the decking of the vessel just above the fuel tanks causing a large explosion onboard the vessel. 
  
  The explosion removed the fiberglass decking from the floor and threw it out of the vessel to the port side. The force of the explosion knocked Victim2 off balance and into the water on the starboard side. As the flames exited the cuddy cabin they engulfed Victim3 and reached Operator burning both men severely and knocking Victim3 backward on top of the now exposed fuel tanks. 
  
  Operator quickly acted and grabbed his two fire extinguishers as most of the fire was gone but a small flame still burned on top of the port tank from Victim3's burning hat and was able to extinguish the flame. A good Samaritan vessel was cruising by and pulled Victim2 from the water. They then retrieved Operator, Victim3, and victim2 from the vessel and took them back to Stock Island Village Marina. FWC arrived on scene, secured the adrift vessel and towed it to  the marina the men were at. 
  
  EMS arrived on scene and transported Victim3 and Operator to the Lower Keys Medical Center. ; OPERATOR:First and second degree burns across five percent of his body.  VICTIM2:Minor blisters to the back of his knees. VICTIM3:Second and third degree burns across ten to fifteen percent of his body.
