Two people were injured and a dog died in a boat explosion on Saturday, Sept. 6, authorities said. The blast occurred shortly after the vessel had left a fuel dock at a Lake St. Clair marina.

In a social media post , the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office said its Marine Division was dispatched about 12:35 p.m. to Emerald City Harbor in St. Clair Shores for a report of an explosion.

Witnesses helped pull the two people, who sustained minor injuries, from the water. The dog was taken to an emergency veterinary hospital and later died from its injuries.
