Lawsuit Regarding Fire Pole Injury
A woman has filed a lawsuit against the Chicago Fire Department because her daughter was apparently injured sliding down a fire pole (from the Chicago Sun-Times via FireFightingNews.com).
It was a field trip to a fire station and students got to slide down the fire pole.But the mother of one student says her daughter's feet and legs were injured when she hit the floor, and now they're suing for negligence.
Denise Troche filed the suit Wednesday against Our Lady of Victory Catholic School and the Chicago Fire Department, claiming they didn't take precautions before her daughter descended the fire pole.
This could be just one more nail in the coffin for fire poles.
