father in his 60s and a daughter in his 30s were electrocuted and killed by an electric fence around the field.

It was installed to prevent access to wild animals, but it appears that her daughter was in an accident while trying to rescue her when her father was electrocuted.

Yesterday (12th) around 6:46 pm, a report was received that her daughter and daughter were electrocuted by an electric wire fence in a field in Anae-myeon, Okcheon-gun.



A 65-year-old father and 38-year-old daughter B, both of whom were already in critical condition when the 119 rescue team arrived and were taken to the hospital, but eventually died.



At that time, the weather was very humid with varying rains, and it seems that the father was electrocuted first and the daughter who was trying to save it also suffered a catastrophe.



[Rescue worker at the time of the accident: My father did not have a breathing pulse when he arrived at the scene, so he took first aid and transported him to the hospital in that state, and my daughter also had no breathing pulse…

Police believe that the power line fence was installed about 3 years ago and is not an official product.



Official electric fences can chase wild animals such as wild boars by generating a static-like effect with an instantaneous voltage of close to 10,000 volts.



However, in the field where the accident occurred, electricity was directly connected from the agricultural distribution box to the electric wire fence.



[Electric fence manufacturer official: Because the fence is called pulsed electricity, it bounces and rolls, so even if a person or an animal rubs or touches it, the fence is supposed to be removed.

But it 'just' sticks.

Electric current (because it flows….)]



There was always a risk of electric shock on a wire carrying 220 volts.



The number one reason farmers randomly install insecure electric wire fences is because of cost.



If you purchase an official product, you will have to pay millions of won, even if you receive a subsidy.
