I realize it's not resi, but...

We had an electrical contractor (David Emmerling, with Wigdahl Electrical Company of Elk Grove Village, IL) and Deputy Chief Wayne Luecht of a FD south of us get burned (3rd degree - 93%) when a fault two miles away decided to use the panel room housing 480v gear in a shopping center as a "point of release".

The contractor was KIA - Chief Luecht died after 11 days in CCU. The building engineer survived, and underwent therapy.
