On Monday, June 8th, 2026, around 7:45 a.m., Montgomery County Fire and EMS responded to the Medical Center Metro Station in Rockville, for the reported electrical explosion with injuries.
Crews arrived on the scene to find multiple workers injured.
A Spokesperson for the Montgomery County (MD) Fire & Rescue Service reported the incident involved three contractor workers at an active electrical vault. All three victims were in serious condition with electrical burns and other injuries.
One of the injured workers has now been identified by community organizations as Coach Haines, an active member of the Solomons Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad, as well as a volunteer youth sports coach in Calvert County.
Haines is well known in the community for his service with the Solomons Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad and for his work with local youth athletes, including Calvert County T-Ball and the Solomons Steelers.
Any GoFundMe/Meal train or other means to assist the family will be provided when they become available.
