RedactedNarrative: On Sunday, July 24, 2022, I received a call of a boat fire in the area of Old Ferry Lane in Savannah on the ramp.  This boat ramp is a TWRA ramp.  
  
  According to statements given by the operator, occupants, and witnesses, subject, family, and friends, were launching their 1996 Hurricane Deck Boat, at approximately 1130AM.  Operator stated he had turned the blower on.  Operator turned the ignition key to start the vessel and the vessel backfired/exploded.  The vessel was still attached to the trailer and truck.  
  
  Subject1 was seated on the back seat, directly behind the captains chair.  She received burns on her body. 
  
  Operator''s juvenile daughter also received some minor burns.  She was seated on the back seat two others.  
  
  Operator and onlookers got the occupants off the boat, and Operator attempted to extinguish the fire, which was unsuccessful.  The vessel was pushed off the trailer into the water.  The vessel was later secured by TWRA officers and Hardin County Fire Departement.  The remains of the vessel were recovered on July 25, 2022 by Operator.
