CONRATH, Wis. (AP) — Fire officials in Wisconsin say the heat from a fire caused a loaded gun to discharge, critically wounding a firefighter.
The Cornell Area Fire Department said Friday that 35-year-old Justin Fredrickson is out of the intensive care unit and recovering.
A week earlier, Fredrickson was working a fire in the northwestern part of the state when the heat from the fire caused the gun to go off.
Fredrickson was shot in the abdomen. He was taken to a nearby hospital and later airlifted for medical treatment in Eau Claire.
The department says he had at least three surgeries and has since been up and walking.
