A very scary situation happened to some Florida boaters! According to the Daytona Beach Fire Department, the boat had just finished refueling and the people on the boat were attempting to start its engine when the explosion occurred. A fiery explosion injured four people, including a woman who had to be airlifted to a hospital with severe burns, officials said.

The explosion happened at Halifax Harbor Marina in Daytona Beach and was captured on a surveillance video.

Firefighters who were called to the scene were able to put out the flames engulfing the boat, which was left badly damaged and partially charred.

Officials said the owner of the boat believes the explosion was possibly set off by gas vapors, but the exact cause of the blast is under investigation.
