GLENDALE, Colo. --
A police officer was taken to the hospital after he tried to put out a fire at an apartment complex Sunday afternoon.
Police said a mattress caught fire in an apartment on South Fairfax and East Center Avenue in Glendale.
Two officers went inside with a fire extinguisher to put the fire out, but were forced out by smoke, police said.
One officer was taken to the hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation.
There was no word on what caused the fire.
A number of years ago, the private dispatch company for my town's FD screwed up the dispatch of a fire call. It took soooo long for the FD to get there, that 5 police officers (on their own initiative) used their fire extinguishers to put out the kitchen fire before the FD arrived.
The idiots in the FD then filed a labor grievance with the town claiming that town employees who were not members of the fire union were used to do work performed by the firefighters which violated their contract.
Firefighters can be such ***holes.
