I arrived at werk this morning, picked-up my HT,turned it on, and headed for the time clock.Time;5:30AM<br /><br />I heard our Marina security person make a emergency call to central security, saying a boat just exploded in it's slip, and the captain jumped overboard---injured.<br />I punched-in, and met with the security person, and EMS, Fire Dept, and Sherriff dept were also on scene. Being an irrigation tech, I kept way back from the area, but close enough to see what was happening.<br />Let this post bear whitness to the importance of venting engine/enclosed fuel compartments for 4 minutes before attempting to start!<br />The captain has second degree burns on his legs and arms, and first degree on his head.<br />Name of 29' PenYann vessel and captain being witheld to respect his privacy.<br />
