A Milwaukee firefighter was injured in a fall from the roof of an apartment building Saturday morning.

The firefighter was transported to a hospital for treatment. There was no word on his condition.

"I hope his equipment kind of saved some bones or organs or important things that will keep him from doing this because this is crazy man," said T. Harris Bey, a neighbor who witnessed the fall told Fox6 news.  "I don’t wish this on nobody."

The injured firefighter had been with the department for several years.

The cause is under investigation.
