The Fond du Lac Fire Chief says a construction worker is fortunate to escape with only minor injuries after he was electrocuted when a pole he was holding came in contact with an electrical line. The incident happened Monday morning at a residence on Forest Circle. “He was putting up siding on a house that was being renovated. There was a pole that came in contact with a primary (electrical) wire. He got a pretty good jolt that knocked him down,” O’Leary told WFDL news. The man was treated at the scene. Meanwhile, O’Leary says an electrical problem is apparently to blame for a fire that damaged a duplex on Sixth Street near Park Avenue. The fire caused moderate damage.
