Six people landed in hospitals after fireworks blew up during a Fourth of July party at Lake Martin. The blast happened around 9:14 at night when someone shot off illegal fireworks from a pontoon boat. Witnesses saw the boat shooting fireworks for several minutes before one went off at the wrong angle. The firework hit the boat and started a fire that hurt everyone on board. Alabama cops say the people turned their pontoon into a homemade fireworks launcher without permission.

Two men got hurt badly and needed helicopter rides to Birmingham Hospital. William Davis is 39 years old and Aaron Kovak is 49 years old. Three other guys went to nearby hospitals after the accident. Johnathan Wilmarth is 43, Joshua Husted is 36, and Matthew Davila is 28 years old. Doctors have not said how badly anyone got hurt.

Three medical helicopters flew to the lake to pick up the injured people. The Alabama Fire Marshal started looking into what caused the blast. State troopers warned people never to shoot fireworks from boats unless they have special permits. Wind and boat movement can make fireworks go off at the wrong time and hurt people. The fireworks show was part of a yearly celebration that families attend every summer.
