The firework veered into the crowd, injuring a security guard in the foot.

The security guard was taken to the hospital but has been released and is back to work.

Pyro Shows of Alabama released a statement Saturday after the incident:

"After considerable investigation into the fireworks incident last night, we discovered that a particular product had been incorrectly inserted and secured into its holder.

"During our continuing look at our procedures regarding the device, the supporting equipment, and the technicians that use it, we are eliminating it from the show until that device and supporting procedures have been fully updated to assure providing safe shows for our customers."

No fans were injured, according to the Rocket City Trash Pandas.
