VIDEO: Detroit firefighters said people overdosing on drugs are being dropped off almost every night in front of fire stations.
Officials said someone was overdosing on drugs Sunday morning, and his friends dumped his body in the parking lot of the fire station at Seven Mile and John R roads.
Authorities said they dumped the man's body and drove away, leaving firefighters to deal with the situation.
"This was the scene this morning when I arrived at work," one firefighter posted on Facebook. "Every few days someone drops off an overdose victim in front of our fire house. Unfortunately, this time, this person didn't make it."
These incidents are placing Detroit firefighters on the front lines of fighting the opioid epidemic, according to officials. They're having to rush to try to save victims, and many firefighters said it's emotionally draining.
