Four members of the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service will soon return to work, according to a memo sent out to members of the union representing firefighters. The complaint came from a paramedic who alleged he was delayed in transporting the patient to hospital because a firefighter "blatantly refused" to help. Harris did not recommend disciplinary action, but instead Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service members receive education on implicit bias. Alex Forrest with the International Association of Fire Fighters told union members the four firefighters will return to work for their next shift, but declined further comment. WFPS has also hired two consulting firms to do a workplace cultural assessment and outline steps for improvement.
