PORT TOWNSEND, Wash. — East Jefferson Fire Rescue (EJFR) says two people suffered burn injuries after their 50-foot sailboat exploded in Glen Cove on Sunday afternoon.
The two victims abandoned the sailboat using a dinghy along with their dog.
Authorities say they suffered burn injuries to 20% of their body and were airlifted to a local hospital.
EJFR says it’s unclear if their dog was injured.
Multiple agencies responded to put the fire out on the sailboat, but it’s not clear what caused the explosion.
