[Scan-DC] Arlington responding to electrocution of two

[Andrew Clegg]

Command just requested the voltage on the line. Response: 20,000.

I have not caught any final patient status, but I suspect it's not good.

Reminds me of a YouTube video I saw a few weeks ago, which shows what
happens when such a high-voltage line comes in contact with a large tree. I
can only imagine what it would do to a person.

        The ambulance bus is a large bus that can transport about 10 12
maybe more patiests.  Why he wants that is unknown

          Update/correction: It sounds like the victim under the power line
has not bee recovered yet. They are still awaiting confirmation that the
line is powered off. (Sorry, work got in the way and I was not able to
monitor some of the action). The incident commander just requested the
ambulance bus. Not sure what that is, but it sounds like it is an ambulance
capable of transporting a large number of victims? I don't know why they
need that because as far as I can tell there are only two victims -- one
taken to Medstar and one still on the scene.

                  If rescue is waiting then they are dead.

                    Correction -- this is in North Arlington, Dittmar and
Old Glebe. Rescue is
                    awaiting Dominion Power before they do anything, "less
than 20 minute ETA."

                    Caused by raising a portable light system, coming into
contact with wires.
                    Wires are down, laying across one of the victims who is
not moving. Other is
                    seizing.
