RedactedNarrative: At around 1745, I, Trooper, noticed black smoke coming from downstream on Pickwick Lake. I was at around Mile Marker 254 when I noticed it.
  
  I traveled towards the smoke and while I was traveling that direction I received a call from dispatch of a boat fire in the area. I arrived and noticed 2 subjects and a dog on the rip rap upstream from the boat. The boat was fully engulfed when I arrived. I retrieved the occupants the operator and passenger and got
  them on my boat. Operator said that they were the only people on board. Operator said he was driving and they were traveling downstream and smelled gas. When they came down to an idle speed from a planing speed the boat ignited. 
  
  Operator said he used the fire extinguisher but it reignited. operator, passenger, and the dog jumped off of the boat and swam to shore. The fire was put out by Florence Fire and Rescue. The boat was unable to be towed due to the amount of boat remaining. The boat was a 1986 Chris Craft, 17 feet in length. Statements were obtained and both occupants were taken back to their vehicle at McFarland Park.
  
  Nothing further to report at this time
