  • The attacks, which the city’s firefighter’s union says began in May, have seen the protectors repeatedly targeted by the intemperate down-and-outs

  • One such incident, which transpired last month, saw one fire official pelted with a rock while attempting to put out a blaze that originated from an encampment

  • Another altercation, in June, saw firefighters chased by a homeless person with a knife while responding to a medical call at one such site
