Another #IceBucketChallenge has gone terribly wrong, resulting in the electrocution of four firefighters.
From Romance Meets Life:
The two closest to the power line, Captain Tony Grider, 41, and Simon TA. Quinn, 22, had to be airlifted to the University of Louisville Hospital where they are being treated in the hospital’s burn unit.
Two other fighters were shocked by electricity coming down the vehicle’s ladder, Captain Steve Marrs, 37 and Alex Johnson, 28.
Grider remains in serious condition, but Quinn’s status has been updated from serious to fair.
The fighters were helping students of Campbellsville University in Kentucky pull off a mass ALS ice bucket challenge when the incident occurred.
They used a fire department vehicle to spray gallons of ice water onto the college’s marching band on a field below, but somehow their overhead bucket got too close to the nearby power leading to the electric shocks and burns on those operating the spraying machine.
