加拿大消防员面临越来越多的暴力,他们呼吁加强法律保护。 Canadian firefighters face rising violence, prompting calls for stronger legal protections.

加拿大各地消防员报告说,在职的暴力事件不断增多,对117个省的调查显示,过去五年中,40%的人经历过袭击,尽管报告不足的情况很普遍。 Firefighters across Canada report a rising number of violent incidents on the job, with a survey of 117 departments showing 40% experienced assaults in the past five years, though underreporting is common. 事件包括在伊达霍和堪萨斯市发生的人身攻击、辱骂、车辆破坏和致命枪击事件。 Incidents include physical attacks, verbal abuse, vehicle vandalism, and fatal shootings in Idaho and Kansas City. 在Moncton,在涉及无人居住人口和医疗紧急情况的电话中,侵略事件增加。 In Moncton, aggression has increased during calls involving the unhoused population and medical emergencies. 工会领导人正在敦促联邦采取行动,支持两项法案 — — 自由政府的保释判决和改革法案以及参议院反对派法案 — — 该法案将向消防员提供法律保护,类似于对警察和过境工人的保护,目的是对袭击第一反应者的行为给予更严厉的惩罚。 Union leaders are urging federal action, supporting two bills—the Liberal government’s bail sentencing and reform act and a Senate opposition bill—that would extend legal protections to firefighters similar to those for police and transit workers, aiming to impose stiffer penalties for assaults on first responders. 政府承认需要加强保障措施,但立法仍在审查中。 The government acknowledges the need for stronger safeguards, but the legislation remains under review.
