Turkey fryer radio stunt goes bad. Firefighter injured.

A firefighter and a civilian were hurt this morning during a radio station stunt in Tampa. Here are excerpts from TBO.com:

During a stunt for “The MJ Morning Show” on WFLZ, 93.3 FM, an employee put a grease fryer inside the van, which had furniture, and a fire broke out, Tampa Fire Rescue spokesman Capt. Bill Wade said.

One of the radio station’s employees was injured. A firefighter also injured his back during the incident at Clear Channel Radio, 4202 Gandy Blvd., Wade said.

Wade expressed anger over the stunt.

“They wanted a fire,” Wade said. “They had no permits, no proper safety crews. When the fire got going, they called the fire department.
