Seattle firefighters 'are being assaulted' and demand city take action after reports of at least 40 attacks on first responders putting out fires at city's growing number of homeless encampments
2022-08-23
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Firefighters in Seattle have demanded the city take action after they were subjected to more than 40 violent attacks in the past four months -

  • The string of assaults that have been largely carried out by the city's homeless

  • 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
