Fuel vapors ignited when the man tried to start the engine about 10:45 a.m., said Gary Bontrager, a fire investigator with the Snohomish County Fire Marshal's Office. The man was working on the boat, which was parked on a trailer in a driveway in the 8000 block of 19th Avenue NE, he said. Crews rushed the man to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett and he was later taken to the Seattle trauma center, Marysville Fire District spokeswoman Kristen Thorstenson said. The fire on the 19-foot Sea Ray was quickly brought under control, she said. No one else was hurt. READER COMMENTS Be the first to comment.
