Two Injured in Johns Pass Marina Florida Formula Boat Fire

Two men were injured as a ten meter Formula sport cruiser exploded first and then went ablaze in Johns Pass Marina, Treasure Island, Florida on the early afternoon of Friday fifth July.  The 34-foot Formula cruiser went ablaze after fuelling up, with the marina manager reporting it went ablaze as the sport cruisers started its engine, with the stern bursting into flames.  Following the blaze the two men jumped in the water, as marina staff pushed the boat away from the dock as its mooring lines burned away with the fire.  Treasure Island Fire Rescue responded to the fire as the two men suffered first and second-degree burns, but did not go to the hospital.  The cause of the fire is under investigation.
The Formula sport cruiser in this fire is a second generation 34 PC model as produced from 2004 to 2015.  The second generation Formula 34 PC came as a replacement to the first generation series which was produced from 1991 to 2002.
