A boater jumped into the waters of Lake Belton after an inboard motor on his vessel exploded â engulfing the craft in flames. The man suffered minor injuries in the incident, which occurred at about 3:50 p.m. Wednesday near Frankâs Marina, on the south side of the lake about a mile from the Belton Dam. Smoke from the fire was visible for miles. âThat was a relatively large fire that pretty much engulfed the boat,â Shane Sibley, a battalion chief for the Morganâs Point Resort Volunteer Fire Department, said. âWhen we got there, the boat had pretty much gone up quickly.â
MORGANâS POINT RESORT â Rescuers took extra efforts on Sunday to find and care for a hiker seriously injured after a fall at a Lake Belton park. Emergency responders from the Morganâs Point Resort Volunteer Fire Department were dispatched to find the hiker about noon Sunday at Rogers Park, a lakeside area known for rock climbing. The hiker âsustained a traumatic injury due to a fall and was inaccessible to a ground ambulance,â the department posted on its Facebook page. Morganâs Point responders arrived with a medical director and were later aided by Temple Fire & Rescueâs Special Operations Rescue 3 unit with rope rescue capabilities and additional manpower.
