Man dies after electrocution in Addison, 3-28-17
This message comes from John Tulipano: Firefighters from Addison and Lombard worked together today (3/28/17) to rescue a man who was electrocuted and trapped in a tree near Villa Avenue and Myrick. The incident occurred when the victim came into contact with power lines while trimming branches in a backyard. A 51-year-old man died, and another person was critically injured after being shocked by power lines while cutting trees in an Addison backyard on Tuesday afternoon. Jose Fulgencio-Hueramo, from Melrose Park, was pronounced dead shortly before noon at Glen Oaks Hospital in Glendale Heights. At around 11 a.m., he and another individual were cutting tree limbs near Villa Avenue and Myrick Avenue in Addison when they made contact with overhead power lines. One of the men was thrown from the ladder and landed on the ground, while the other became stuck in the tree. After ComEd shut off the power, firefighters from both Addison and Lombard arrived to extract the victim from the tree. One man was airlifted to Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove. "They managed to cut the power, and then firefighters from Lombard and Addison went up there and rescued the gentleman from the tree," said Joe Leone, the Addison fire chief. Local police noted that the victims did not appear to be working with a licensed tree-cutting company. It remains unclear how they came into contact with the power lines, but the situation highlights the dangers of working near electrical infrastructure without proper precautions.
