FBI ALERT

[Medicchic20]

Today I received an e-mail regarding an FBI alert and it is suggested to be passed on to Fire/Rescue/EMS departments. I work FT for the Army, so, yes, this is credible.

PLEASE READ AND HEED.

God Bless all of you as you respond, and your families, until your safe return.

We got the same memo last week, then the FBI said they did not issue that warning and did not know where it came from.

Is this a new warning or part of the old one? They did caution F&R to be extra careful in light of the current events though.

Yes, this was posted last week, then the FBI stated that although this is probably not a serious threat, that this has not occurred at this time, and that we should not pass this on to others. They did state that we should be careful to lock departments, etc. to minimize any risk. Take care.

Hi. I understand the notice put out last week was basically rescinded. This current notice that I put out today is actually a brand new one. The FBI has disemminated this down through my chain of command. This is serious. I wanted to notify all the Fire/EMS departments that I could. This was the most efficient way to do this. I copied and pasted the actual alert as I received it.

I am a civillian Medic in my community. I work closely with firefighters and police just like you all. Please, understand how important this is to me that you all take necessary precautions. The disaster in NY strikes me just as hard as you. I don't want to see this happen to anybody else.
