Three people, including two children, are recovering from burns after a boat explosion at Grand Lake on Saturday.

Witnesses say the boat owner had just fueled up at Dripping Springs Yacht Club, when he flipped on the blower motor, apparently sparking the explosion.

The owner's daughter, 20-month-old Georgia Arneson, along with three-year-old Sydney Timmons and her mother, Lee Timmons, were taken by air ambulance to Tulsa's Hillcrest Burn Center. 

The two children were later transferred to the Children's Burn Center in Galveston, Texas.

Four others on board were not seriously injured.
