An Anchorage firefighter remains in critical condition at a local hospital Tuesday after being injured during training Monday afternoon, according to an Anchorage Fire Department official.
Ben Schultz, 29, a firefighter and paramedic, has been with the fire department for six years.
Schultz was injured at 4:15 p.m. Monday, said AFD Deputy Chief of Operations Jodie Hettrick during a press conference Tuesday at Anchorage Fire Station 1. She declined to detail the extent of his injuries or the nature of the training, or to specify where the incident took place.
"We're not going to release any of that (the type of training), because we don't know exactly what caused the incident to happen," she said. "They were training at one of the stations."
