For people that do not know it, the pontoon boat is owned by a Tulsa OK fireman and he has a big pump and firehose that he can put on the pontoon boat. He most likely had to go get the pump from his dock.

He actually bought that pump because he got tired of being squirted with water guns and now he can squirt back
Fireman or not that was quick thinking and gutsy going in with no safety gear. The insurance company for the marina better at least send him a thank you card.

way to go Trent. That could of been bad. I always wondered what would happen if a boat tied up in a long line of boats caught fire. It would turn into a big cluster f*ck.

From what I understand one Kid (a little girl) was burned bad enough she is in a houston burn center and another lady that was also in the boat pulled that kid out of the flames is at Hillcrest burn center, the explosion blew all but those 2 out of the boat. sad deal when kids are hurt like that.

from what I here they had just filled up and the marina pushed them off, he started it and "boom" I cant imagine that exhaust fumes can do that much damage, but i guess just enough to damage fuel lines and it goes from there.
