Lost in the clamor over the city’s rising homicide rate is that the city’s Fire Department is saving lives from gunshot wounds at a stunning pace.
Chicago Fire Fighters Union spokesman Tim O’Brien said the untold story of the city’s violence this year was not the homicides, which had already topped the total for last year and were on pace to close in on 500, but the lives saved by paramedics and emergency medical technicians in shootings.
“Nobody’s talking about the 1,000 shooting victims who survived because of the work Chicago firefighters did and Chicago Fire Department paramedics,” O’Brien said. “What an incredible job by our members.
“We have 1,000 rescues under our belt this year,” he said, “and nobody’s talking about it.”
