Mr. Dennis Keeley:

Certainly, and I refer to physical as well as verbal assault. Firefighters have been subject to serious physical assaults requiring long-term treatment, while verbal assaults, which are much more common, are still a recurring issue, probably weekly. We have a number of processes and procedures for our staff's welfare and to help them deal with that, and we use the auspices of our social media to try to educate the public on the role of the emergency services. That goes through both our social media and our school visits to try to get across the problem of intimidation or assaults on emergency workers.
