Ice bucket challenge goes awry, firefighters hurt

Four firefighters were injured — two seriously — when a fire truck's ladder got too close to a power line after they helped college students take part in an ice bucket challenge, police said Thursday.

The firefighters had just finished dousing cold water on the Campbellsville University marching band and were lowering the ladder when they were shocked by electricity. Two firefighters were in the bucket and two were on the main part of the truck.

The two in the bucket were at a hospital burn unit. One was in critical condition and the other was stable, Campbellsville Police Chief Tim Hazlette said. The other firefighters were treated and released.

Capt. Tony Grider, 41 has died of his injuries at noon today. All LOD is a tragady, but this one should not have happened. Just goes to show that whenever you gear up & go out, even for training or something like this, you are never 100% safe. RIP Cap
