LACONIA, N.H. -- A Massachusetts man and woman safely fled their boat when it caught fire after refueling at a lakeside dock in Laconia.
Marine Patrol said Larry Mintz, 71, of Methuen, Mass., tried to start the engine when flames erupted from the engine cover. He and a passenger, Shirley Klepadlo, fled through a hatch on the deck and got safely onto the dock.
Staff at the dock untied the boat, which started to drift toward the Mount Washington docks. The Laconia Fire Department put out the fire. No one was injured. The incident remains under investigation.
