Two men burned while working in Ottawa apartment building
Two men are being treated for burns after being injured while working at an apartment building in Ottawa's Alta Vista neighbourhood.
Emergency crews responded to a call at an apartment building on Playfair Drive, near Kilborn Avenue, just after 12 p.m.
An Ottawa paramedic spokesperson tells CTV News Ottawa the two men were working on an electrical panel when it started to arc. The two men suffered burns.
