From TheSunNews.com:
A Murrells Inlet-Garden City firefighter remains in critical condition today at MUSC after being injured in a fire Saturday, said Capt. Scott Gosnell.

The firefighter has not been identified. He was taken to Georgetown Memorial Hospital on Saturday evening, suffering heat exhaustion while crews extinguished a fire at Cambridge Apartments near the Garden City Connector, and transferred to MUSC.

Two firefighters suffered from heat exhaustion as they worked to contain a second-floor apartment fire that broke out around 3:30 p.m., Assistant Chief Danny Lussier said Saturday. It took an hour to get the blaze under control.
