Worcester officials say findings of investigation into Firefighter Christopher Roy’s death will lead to improvements on top of training, staffing already boosted
Updated 6:31 AM;
Worcester officials say the recent results of a federal investigation into Firefighter Christopher Roy’s death and an ongoing independent assessment of the fire department will lead to improvements on top of the boosted training and staffing already implemented over the last two years.
Investigators with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recently found that a lack of risk assessment, issues with incident management and command safety and inadequate staffing were contributing factors in Roy’s tragic December 2018 death in an alleged arson fire. Roy became trapped on the second floor of 7 Lowell St. after the fire spread from the basement.
