Posted September 23, 2013 at 10:51 am by Tim Dustrude
On September 20th at 9:30 am, OPALCO Journeyman Lineman Kevin Zoerb was working on the south end of Lopez Island when he came in contact with a high voltage line. He was airlifted to Harborview and admitted to the ICU burn unit in critical condition.
As of Sunday night, Kevin was awake and breathing on his own – ahead of schedule. The family has set up a Caring Bridge site to provide updates as they occur and a way to send messages to Kevin and his family. A “Zoerb Family Fund” has been set up at Islanders Bank to help with expenses. Deposits can be made directly at any Islanders Bank branch.
The OPALCO family sends its love, hope and prayers to Kevin, his family and community.
