The Boston Hearld
BOSTON — The Boston Firefighters Union is sending its own fact-finding team to New York City to investigate the problem-prone 911 system that is slated to be installed in the Hub this fall.
The Herald first reported yesterday Boston officials are wary of the new system in light of the Big Apple’s woes.
“When they come back, if things don’t look right, especially if it looks like this will be a threat to the citizens of Boston, we’re going to have a public safety hearing on it,” said Firefighter Richard Paris, president of Boston Firefighters Local 718. “If this doesn’t work, why should we put the safety of the citizens and the safety of the firefighters at risk?”
