As Cooper got closer, she said she could see flames coming from the boat. “They were really high and big,” Cooper said. Neighbors say they hurried to help the man who was severely injured and called 911 for assistance. Firefighters blocked the roadway and rolled out a water hose to put out the flames. Neighbors Julie Ferguson said she knows the man and his wife. “He and his wife, very nice people, and, hopefully, we’re all praying that he heals,” Ferguson said. The boat fire is under investigation. This is a developing story.
