A court has ruled against a group of Pennsylvania firefighters who claimed they suffered permanent hearing loss because of an apparatus siren.
The Pennsylvania Record reports that a majority panel of the Superior Court of Pennsylvania ruled on Aug. 20 against the Pittsburgh-area firefighters, saying they failed to prove that a different design for the sirens would have been safer.
In a 2-1 decision, Superior Court judges Mary Jane Bowes and Paula Francisco Ott dismissed the case brought by firefighters Ronald M. Dunlap, Dino Abbot, Keith Bradley, Brian Cavanaugh, Glenn Gasiorowski, Roger Maher and Carl Roell.
