Man shocked at Armstrong substation
ARMSTRONG, B.C. — A 25 year old man is fighting for his life in Vernon Jubilee Hospital after suffering serious burn injuries from an shock at an Armstrong BC Hydro sub-station last (Thursday) night.
RCMP were called to the station on Smith Drive around 8:10 p.m. to reports of a transformer fire.
Constable Jocelyn Noseworth says the man was found inside the fenced compound and it doesn’t appear he purposely set the fire.
“We have no indication that he started a fire, so I am not sure what the nature of that would be but I don’t think it was intentionally set by any means.”
