While many of us are "Safer at Home," the work of firefighters and first responders doesn't stop.
So along with the dangers they normally see on the job, the coronavirus pandemic has been added to the list. Michael Wos of the Professional Firefighters of Wisconsin says every call could mean coming in contact with COVID-19. "We don't know if that broken leg is someone that may be symptomatic," Wos said.
And the state union says many of their members do not have the personal protection equipment they need to stay safe. Jerry Biggart is on the executive board of PFFWI, and a firefighter in Milwaukee County, and says every firefighter should have an N95 mask for every call, but that isn't happening. "Our members have absolutely had to go out on calls without N95 masks."
