Photos:Firefighters suffered electric shock from overhead power lines while helping students' ice bucket challenge - leaving captain critical

 
Four firefighters were injured after helping a college marching band perform an ALS ice bucket challenge on Thursday.
Firefighters Tony Grider, 41, and Alex Quinn, 22, remain hospitalized after the incident, which happened Thursday morning at the Campbellsville University campus in Kentucky.
The two firefighters were in the bucket of their truck's ladder when a surge of electricity jumped over from nearby power lines and shocked them and two other firefighters.

Captain Grider and Quinn were taken to the University of Louisville hospital where Grider, an 11-year veteran, was last reported in critical condition. This afternoon, Quinn's condition was upgraded from serious to fair.
The incident happened this morning as the Campbellsville firefighters were helping the local university's marching band perform an ALS ice bucket challenge.
The ice bucket challenge has been sweeping social media, with those taking part pouring a bucket of ice-cold water over their heads to raise awareness for amypthropic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.

The Campbellsville University marching band decided to take the challenge in a unique way, by having the local fire department soak them from above with their fire hose.
Pictures of the marching band being sprayed by Grider and Quinn have already been posted on Twitter.
It was only after the challenge, while Grider and Quinn were packing up the ladder, that a surge of energy struck the ladder.
