January 6, 2008 – LODD
Captain James Robeson, 50
Scranton Fire Department. Scranton, Pennsylvania
At 0714hrs, Captain Robeson and the members of his fire department were dispatched to a fire in a residence. Upon arrival, firefighters found a working fire. The incident commander requested the response of the local electrical utility company to the scene. A utility company worker arrived at the scene and then departed. Captain Robeson and another firefighter were in the platform of a tower ladder, ascending through power lines to position the ladder in a spot that would allow access to the upper floors of the residence or for ladder pipe operations. At approximately 0742hrs, Captain Robeson and three other firefighters were electrocuted. Power from a 13,000 volt electrical line either arced to the ladder or the ladder came in contact with one of the lines. After power was shut off, Captain Robeson and the other firefighter in the platform were removed and treated. Captain Robeson could not be revived. Two residents of the home also died as a result of the fire, and three other firefighters were injured at the incident. It is unknown if the electrical utility worker was asked to cut power to the lines in the street or just from the street to the house. Robeson was a 25 year veteran of the department.
