• Notes

  Hydro Worker Is Badly Burned When the regulation switch stick which he was using to close a 13,000 volt disconnecting switch at the Hydro sub-station on Gaukel street, in Kitchener, slipped on Sunday morning, 43 year old Maurice Rohr, Public Utilities employee, narrowly escaped death. Rohr was closing the switch when the stick slipped, grounding on the steel panel at the rear of the switch. A blinding flash resulted, setting fire to Rohr's clothing. He was rushed to St. Mary's Hospital where he was treated for a badly burned right arm and hip. Hospital authorities yesterday reported his condition as good. Waterloo Chronicle 30 Jan 1936, p. 1
