Amid warnings that Chicago Fire Department paramedics are “taking a literal beating at the hands of their patients,” a City Council committee on Monday answered the alarm.
The Committee on Public Safety unanimously approved an ordinance championed by Ald. Matt O’Shea at the behest of the Chicago Firefighters Union Local 2.
"The men and women of the Chicago Fire Department are taking a literal beating at the hands of their patients. … This isn’t just fists. It isn’t padlocks. It’s guns. We’ve had ambulances shot at. We’ve had fire apparatus shot at," Senorski said. "Those firefighters and paramedics don’t have bulletproof vests and they don’t have weapons. They’re walking in there with their bunker coat and a helmet trying to help. And believe me, when our members are dispatched to one of these, they’re coming. They’re not gonna leave their brothers and sisters behind. But we need additional resources.
Far Northwest Side Ald. Anthony Napolitano has served the city as both a firefighter and a paramedic. He knows the difference between a 10-1 for a police officer and a 10-1 for a paramedic or firefighter.
