Boat Explosion Injures Two, Kills Dog at St. Clair Shores Harbor

A boat explosion occurred at Emerald City Harbor in St. Clair Shores, Michigan, injuring two people and killing a dog on Saturday afternoon. The vessel exploded shortly after fueling at the gas dock, throwing the individuals into the water; both sustained minor injuries. The dog was taken to an emergency veterinary hospital but died from its injuries. The explosion caused significant damage to the fuel dock and resulted in fuel and oil contaminating the water, prompting environmental cleanup efforts.

Witnesses and emergency responders assisted the injured, and the boat was found nearly submerged with large debris floating in the water.
