RedactedNarrative: ON APRIL 30, 2020 AT 1900 HOURS, A 1976 SCHIADA WAS DRIFTING NEAR HORSE ISLAND INSIDE THE LAKE PLEASANT REGIONAL PARK. UPON ARRIVAL, I OBSERVED A VESSEL ACTIVELY BURNING ON THE WATER. PEORIA FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ACTIVELY FIGHTING THE FIRE. AN INTERVIEW WAS CONDUCTED WITH THE OPERATOR OF THE VESEL WHO WAS IDENTIFIED AS OPERATOR 1. OPERATOR 1 SAID THEY WERE FLOATING ON THE WATER AND BEGAN TO START THE VESSEL. THE SECOND TIME HE TURNED THE MOTOR OVER AN EXPLOSION OCCURRED.
  
  THERE WERE FIVE INDIVIDUALS ON BOARD THE VESSEL AT THE TIME OF THE EXPLOSION. ALL JUMPED INTO THE WATER. ANOTHER VESSEL WHO OBSERVED THE EXPLOSION OCCURRED, ARRIVED ON SCENE AND JUMPED INTO THE WATER TO PULL THE OTHERS ON BOARD HIS VESSEL. OPERATOR 1 SAID THE VESSEL WAS WORTH $72,000 DOLLARS. THE VESSEL WAS PULLED TO THE SHORELINE BY PEORIA FIRE DEPARTMENT IN EFFORT TO KEEP IT FROM SINKING. 
  
  OPERATOR 1 SAID THE VESSEL HAD LESS THAN 5 GALLONS OF FUEL AND 10 QUARTS OF OIL. OPERATOR 1 SAID THEBOAT RAN ON 100 OCTANE FUEL.
