Facebook Post: Champaign Firefighters Local 1260 have been alarmed and saddened by the amount of violence in the community this year. We as Firefighters respond to many of these scenes when someone has been injured. We have even dealt with shooting victims being dropped off at our firehouses. We see first hand the loss when a family member is taken too soon. Sadly that violence hit close to home for us last night. Overnight, Station 1 was hit by gunfire. Luckily none of our members were injured in this event. We are here to serve the community, we spend a third of our lives at the firehouse. We will always be there when you need us, but we as a community have to do better. The violence needs to come to a end.
