The fire started shortly after 10 a.m. Stuart police said the fire set off a secondary propane tank explosion.
When police arrived the heat was so intense no one could board, police said.
A sergeant aboard a dock master’s boat was able to rescue a man and woman who were able to make it into a small dinghy, according to police.
They told investigators that they tried but were unable to rescue their son. The parents were transported to Miami to be treated for their injuries.
