Campbellsville University President Michael Carter tells WHAS-TV the school asked the local fire department to help spray its marching band with cold water.
Andrew Melnykovich, a spokesman for the Public Service Commission, says the fire truck's ladder either touched a power line or came too close to it. He says the ladder didn't have to strike the line to cause a reaction.
Campbellsville Police Chief Tim Hazlette said Thursday that one of the firefighters is in critical condition and the other is stable. They were in the
truck's bucket as it was being lowered when they were shocked.
He says two other firefighters on the main part of the truck were also shocked. They have been treated and released.
Carter says the challenge was to raise awareness for ALS. No students were hurt.
