OZARKS, Mo. (KMIZ)

On Saturday, Missouri State Highway Patrol Troop F was advised of a boat fire near a gas dock at the 17.5 mile mark at Lake of the Ozarks.

An employee at the Getaway Gas Dock reported the boat on fire and that all three subjects who were aboard had all exited the vessel. 

An officer responded to the area and found the boat was no longer at the gas dock but adrift and heading toward other nearby docks.

The officer then attached a tow rope to the boat and towed it to a nearby boat ramp where the fire department met him to put out the fire.

One subject was transported to Lake Regional by ambulance and two other occupants had minor injuries but refused treatment. 

Missouri State Highway Patrol tweeted details and pictures out on Sunday of the incident.
