Fire spokesperson Mark Brady says that a Prince George's County Firefighter is hospitalized in "good" condition after receiving an electrical shock at a Fire/EMS Station on Wednesday. According to Brady, the firefighter was unplugging a shoreline, a heavy-duty electrical cord connected from an outlet to a fire engine, at the Beltsville Fire/EMS Station 831. The shoreline is used when a unit is off but needs a continuous electric charge to maintain the heavy-duty battery system and for electrical components on-board, explained Brady.
