A Miami firefighter was injured in a fall early Tuesday from the second floor of a Florida pharmacy.
Crews were checking for hot spots on the second floor when AC duct work collapsed, and the Miami Fire Rescue captain fell through, according to WSVN.
"A Mayday came across the radio. That Mayday was due to the fact that a Miami Fire Rescue Captain had fallen through the second floor, down to the cement below," said Miami Fire Rescue Assistant Fire Chief Joseph Zahralban. "He apparently stepped on some AC duct work and fell through."
Rescue crews transported the injured firefighter to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he is listed in stable condition.
According to crews on scene, the captain was said to have pain in his legs and experiencing numbness. "He was transported to our trauma center, where they are now doing a number of tests to determine if in fact he does have any fractures or injuries of serious nature," said Zahralban.
