Kevin Groom calls out personal attacks on officers
The head of the Isle of Man Fire and Rescue Service has called out 'personal and distasteful' abuse of his staff, after two firefighters tested positive for Covid-19 last month.
Both officers are said to have taken all necessary precautions, and underwent immediate testing along with other officers identified as high-risk contacts.
Chief Fire Officer Kevin Groom hopes to 'draw a line' under the abuse:
