‘It's become normal': Winnipeg firefighters facing increased risk of violence
Winnipeg firefighters have been the target of violent incidents in recent days. The union representing Winnipeg's firefighters says more needs to be done to protect the first responders after the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service (WFPS) was the target of several recent attacks. Last week, a firefighter was hit in the face with a metal pole while responding to a vehicle fire in downtown Winnipeg. The suspect, who is facing multiple charges, also hit the fire truck, leaving it damaged. On Sunday night, a suspect armed with a knife confronted crews, who were responding to a medical call, and threatened to kill them. The first responders then had to disarm the individual and physically detain him until police arrival. 'It's become normal. Almost a daily occurrence, unfortunately, that we have these incidents,' said Nick Kasper, president of United Firefighters of Winnipeg. Kasper noted these attacks are no longer surprising, adding that firefighters must now always be guarded when responding to calls. He said more needs to be done to keep the firefighters safe, including harsher penalties and expanded legislation. 'I think the toll taken on society when injury is inflicted on these essential workers needs to be reflected in the punishment,' he said. Kasper said firefighters in other jurisdictions are wearing stab-proof and bulletproof vests as part of their protocols. He added this has been tabled as a point of discussion in Winnipeg for several years. 'I don't think there's a one-stop solution, frankly,' he said. 'I think there's a myriad of contributing factors, and our members are going to continue relying on their training, their experience, and doing the best they can to balance a timely response to the public who's in need with their personal safety.' In a statement, a spokesperson for the City of Winnipeg said the safety and wellness of its members is a top priority. It added that the WFPS has a set process for reporting violent incidents and that it's reviewing the recent attacks. • With files from CTV's Jon Hendricks.
