Four firefighters were injured attempting to help a university band complete the ALS "Ice Bucket Challenge."
Campbellsville University in Kentucky has confirmed two of the firefighters are in critical condition and one was flown to University of Louisville Hospital for treatment.
Wave3 News in Kentucky reports that "the incident happened around noon EST near Chandler Avenue and Spring Street, right outside the university's football and baseball facilities" when firefighters were attempting to douse the Campbellsville University band in ice cold water.
It is unclear of the details that led to the accident.
