Two Vancouver firefighters have tested positive for COVID-19, Vancouver Fire Rescue Services confirmed Sunday. One of the firefighters worked a shift prior to showing symptoms, said City of Vancouver spokesperson Kirsten Langan. The crew members who worked with that firefighter are now in self-isolation, and other staff have been called in to cover their shifts, Langan said. She did not say when the firefighters received their diagnosis. "Firefighters wear protective equipment on all calls."
