A coronavirus cluster has emerged in the Attleboro Fire Department, resulting in nine infected firefighters and two positive dispatchers. One of the firefighters is “very ill” and is getting treated at Rhode Island Hospital, according to Attleboro’s mayor. The firefighter is in serious condition. Last week, one firefighter tested positive for the virus and immediately notified the department. That firefighter was isolated, and the entire department was then tested. After testing, the department was able to largely isolate the outbreak to one shift.
