Two people who were removing copper from a Mesa building while firefighters conducted training were seriously injured.
Firefighters were taking part in training Tuesday when a work crew was removing copper from the structure at Avery Street and Tahoe Avenue.
The workers—who were not firefighters—came in contact with copper “that apparently was still energized," a Mesa Fire and Medical Department official told AZFamily.com.
Both of the people were taken to the hospital, where one is listed in critical condition.
