Members of the Pawtucket firefighters union are sounding the alarm to what they call a complacent approach to public safety. • Lt. Erik Cordeiro, a 16-year veteran of the department, told NBC 10 News that he and other union members were floored last Tuesday when they learned a probationary crew member, aged 22, was named acting deputy chief. • According to Cordeiro, the proper mechanism is to utilize a battalion chief, which is one rank below. • Mayor Don Grebien said the position was posted but not applied for, so in filling the temporary spot they were going to pick the most cost-effective option. • https://turnto10.com/news/local/pawtu... • #pawtucket #rhodeisland #firefighters #news • ----- • NBC 10 WJAR is Southern New England's leading news station, covering news, politics, sports and weather in Rhode Island, Southeastern Massachusetts and Eastern Connecticut, including Providence, Central Falls, Cranston, East Providence, Newport, Pawtucket, Warwick, Woonsocket, Attleboro, Fall River, New Bedford, Taunton and Cape Cod, and surrounding communities. • Our homepage is https://turnto10.com • Like us on Facebook at / nbc10 • Follow us on X at https://x.com/nbc10 • Follow us on Instagram at / nbc10wjar • Download the NBC 10 News app for iOS at • https://apps.apple.com/us/app/nbc-10-... • Download the NBC 10 News app for Android at • https://play.google.com/store/apps/de... • Report news to NBC 10 at 401-455-9105 or email [email protected] • Share your images and video with NBC 10 at https://turnto10.com/chimein
