Firefighters will respond to hundreds of emergency medical calls over the course of their careers. They develop an ability to put most of those calls - even the most gruesome ones - behind them. If they don’t, they might not be able to respond to the next one. It’s a fact of the job. Occasionally there are calls they can’t leave behind. Those calls might involve a family member or a particularly heinous crime against a child. Or they might involve a buddy. The Covington Fire Department’s B-Shift was on duty Sept. 3. Both city stations responded when Covington Police Department Officer Matt Cooper was shot. Their actions that day and the emergency medical care Officer Cooper received in the immediate aftermath of the shooting have been credited with helping save his life.
