Fire departments around metro Atlanta are making drastic security changes after several break-ins of on-duty firefighters’ vehicles. One local fire chief’s proposal would allow firefighters to bring handguns into fire stations. Morrow Fire Chief Roger Swint presented the policy to Morrow City Council on April 25. It would allow firefighters with a valid gun permit to bring a handgun into the station -- without ammo -- and it would then be secured in the firefighters' lockers. The proposal comes weeks after a firefighter’s car was stolen from a station in that town. Days later, a gun was stolen from another firefighter’s car.
