Description

From about 9 to 10 AM on the morning of Monday, August 3rd, 2020, there was an issue at the apartment building next store (I think it was a probably a gas leak.) Multiple firefighters and trucks arrived. The residents were standing outside, mostly maintaining social distancing and wearing masked. Almost none of the firefighters were wearing masks, including someone who got out of a car marked "Battalion 33 Chief". At one point, they were all grouped together with very little distance between them and I counted 8 of them not wearing masks. They did not seem to be respecting social distancing from the residents either. This is unacceptable. How can we expect common citizens to respect mask-wearing and social distancing when public servants do not model the behavior?
