\nA boat on the Ohio River went up in flames Saturday afternoon. <\/p>\n
It happened just before 2 p.m. in Prospect off Victory Lane near the Drift Bar. Several fire departments were called to pull the people out of the water. <\/p>\n
Kevin McGrath, who witnessed what happened, said it looked like the engine backfired causing the back seat to fly off the boat and a small flame could be seen coming out of the engine.<\/p>\n
No official word on the cause, but luckily, no one was injured.
