Two men were injured as a seven meter sport powerboat explored two nautical miles offshore to Waukegan, near the Greenwood Avenue in Lake Michigan on 14:45 of Tuesday 23 July. The two men, 46-year-old from Washington and 55-year-old man from Franklin Park were taken to Vista East Medical Center in serious condition with burns and smoke inhalation. The two boaters were rescued by a good Samaritan who happened to be in the area. The boat was eventually wrecked in the fire, which burned for ninety minutes until it sank. The cause of the fire is under investigation with the U.S. Coast Guard Great Lakes section saying there was no known pollution associated with the explosion and fire.
