Syracuse, N.Y. -- The largest power company in Upstate New York
temporarily barred Charter Communications - the largest cable company in
the state - from its utility poles after a contractor for Charter was
electrocuted last month.
National Grid issued the stop-work order to Charter July 12, the day
after James R. Fogg was killed while running cable television lines in
Yorkshire, a town in Cattaraugus County in western New York.
Fogg, 39, of Fairfield, Maine, was in the basket of a bucket truck on
Block Road about 4:36 p.m. when he came into contact with a primary
electric line, causing him to be shocked with high voltage, state police
said.
