Five people were rescued Saturday after their boat exploded on Thomas Pond in Raymond. The group, all of whom were from out of state, had just gotten onto their boat minutes before the explosion, which Raymond fire officials said was likely caused by leaking fuel. The five people on board jumped out and were helped to shore by bystanders. Other people on jet skis helped put out the fire on the boat. Those five people only suffered minor burns.
