Death Investigation – On August 24 at 1:30PM, the Department of Fire and Rescue responded to the 16900 block of Porters Inn Dr. in Dumfries (22026) to investigate an electrical fire. Upon arriving on scene, units located two workers, identified as a 46-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman in a lift basket, who were actively exposed to a live electrical wire.
