A contractor was severely burned while repairing a Landover warehouse where a roof collapsed in June.
Shortly before 10 a.m. Tuesday, a flash fire or an electrical arc burned a man, believed to be in his 50s, while he was working on repairs in an underground vault at the warehouse at 1501 Cabin Branch Drive in Landover, according to Prince George’s County Fire and EMS spokesman Mark Brady.
The man, who suffered second-degree burns to his upper body, was conscious and breathing at the scene, and was transported to a local hospital, according to Brady.
The roof of the facility collapsed on June 28 while more than a dozen people were inside. One worker’s body was found in the rubble days later.
