Check out the frightening clip … onlookers watch the 5-foot blaze take over the vessel as sirens are heard in the background.
Luckily, no fatalities were reported … but 5 were transported to local hospitals — at least one of which was airlifted, per Atlanta News First. Those injured reportedly suffered second and third-degree burns.
Two others were reportedly treated for minor injuries at the scene.
It’s not clear what caused the cruiser to catch fire … but the fierce blaze was put out by a Gainesville Fire Marine Rescue boat. An investigation is underway.
TMZ reached out to the Hall County Fire Department and Law Enforcement Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources for more information … so far, no word back.
