Vessel caught on fire.

On July 7th, 2023, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), Division of Law Enforcement, was on duty and in uniform, conducting State Law Enforcement patrol in Collier County, Florida.  
I responded to a vessel that caught on fire in Haldeman Creek. 
When I arrived on scene the fire department had extinguished the fire. 
I talked to the Operator and Occupant.
According to the operator and the occupant, the vessel caught on fire by the engine compartment. The operator tried extinguishing the fire with no success. Vessel was engulfed by the flames and operator and occupant had to put PFDs on and jump into the water. A good Samaritan picked them up and took them to shore.
