Details of the incident, including the woman’s injuries, have yet to be shared with the public. However, fire officials shared a reminder to “stay away from all potentially downed live electrical wires.”
Earlier this month, two adults and one teen were killed when a branch fell onto a live wire, which then fell onto a Ford Expedition in the Russel Neighborhood. When they tried to get out of the car, witnesses say one person was on fire and the group was electrocuted.
