A fireworks barge caught fire on Lake Martin just before midnight on July 4th, sparking a dramatic rescue and reigniting safety concerns after last year’s deadly explosion that injured six. Firefighters and marine patrols doused the flames and recovered the vessel—no injuries this time. Investigators are now hunting down the barge’s owners to uncover how the fire started during a Fourth of July display.
