Carpentersville issues protective equipment to first responders
Carpentersville's fire and police personnel have been issued personal protective equipment to use when responding to cases of people with flu-like symptoms.
The QuadCom 911 Communications Center will ask a series of questions to determine if the patient or family member has flu-like symptoms and, if warranted, first responders may be wearing the equipment.
Officials say they want residents to know in advance they may be asked certain questions from a 911 operator and may see police and fire personnel wearing such equipment.
