A man is hospitalized after being electrocuted and falling about 80 feet after climbing up a 100-foot PG&E transmission tower.  Fire crews responded around 1:30 yesterday afternoon near the Prince Memorial Greenway-Santa Rosa Creek to reports of a grass fire. It was later determined to have been started by the electrocuted man found lying on the ground.  The man suffered significant burns and trauma and was airlifted to UC Davis Medical Center.  Over two-thousand people were temporarily affected by a brief power outage.
