Had a beautiful day in Wisconsin today, actually warm out (mid 70's) with calm winds. Launched the boat, enjoying the day, and notice quite a bit of black smoke billowing from what could be the launch area. After a while, we head back so my little one can get home and take a nap, and this is what we discovered:
And this:
Not a good day for someone! Apparently flames shot out when he tried to start it up, and even though the attendants brought out fire extinguishers it was not enough. That guy did not have a good labor day weekend, but at least no one was seriously hurt, just a few minor burns. I was wondering why a 1,150 acre lake only had about 10 boats on it on Sunday of labor day weekend. It's the only public launch on the lake, so it was closed for over 2 hours.
