Roselle Professional Firefighters Local 4051

When you think firefighters aren’t doing their job, it’s important to understand what they’re actually dealing with. This happened yesterday, and our firefighters were faced with a very dangerous situation. They are trained to assess the conditions and hazards before entering a scene. In this case, there was a fire, but the source involved a ComEd electrical line and three transformers that had fallen to the ground, creating an extremely dangerous electrical hazard. Firefighters can’t simply rush in without first making sure it is safe to do so. Their priority is to protect lives while also avoiding putting themselves in unnecessary danger.
