An Oregon family is counting its blessings after a boat fire last weekend.

When the Krussman family boat caught fire and sank in Swift Reservoir on Saturday, three of seven occupants were injured. But things could have been much worse, Grandma Kay Krussman of Hillsboro, Ore., said on Monday.

“The potential for much more harm and damage was huge,” Krussman, who was not on the boat, said. “We feel like God

really protected us.”

Seth Krussman and his son, Spencer, 6, of Hillsboro were transported to the burn unit at Legacy Emanuel Medical Center in Portland after the fire on Saturday. Seth’s sister, Erin Hrabal of Beaverton, was treated for burns on the scene. All three were home and recovering Monday morning.

Also onboard was Erin’s husband, Alan Hrabal, and their daughters, Emelie, 10; Dorianne, 8; and Simone, 4. Everyone on the boat was wearing a life jacket, according to Grandfather Harry Krussman.

Initial reports didn’t sound good for the occupants.

Skamania County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of a boat that was on fire just after 4:30 p.m. Saturday. The boat was reported to be about five miles west of the boat launch at Swift Forest Camp campground, according to a release from the sheriff’s office.
