GLASTONBURY, CT (WFSB) A Glastonbury firefighter came under fire after he told protestors holding a rally this past weekend to get rid of Narcan and let those overdosing, die.
It was all caught on camera, and the video picked up steam on social media, with many saying he should be fired.
The fire department posted an updated statement on Facebook Wednesday morning saying the firefighter has resigned.
The Glastonbury firefighter made the remarks Sunday during a rally held by Black-In-Glastonbury, which is a group that meets in the area every weekend.
Ivelisse Correa recorded the video.
âHaving lost someone myself in my family to opioids, that s not a person I want responding to my family s medical emergency if he holds these opinions,â Correa said.

HARTFORD (AP) Hundreds of Connecticut schoolteachers were able to sign up for coronavirus vaccine appointments before they were actually eligible, due to confusion over the rollout rules, a newspaper reported Monday.
State Health Department spokesperson Maura Fitzgerald told The Hartford Courant the issue arose after some school districts mistakenly put their entire staff rosters into a registration system when the state actually had asked only for lists of school nurses. The nurses were eligible for vaccination as health care providers.
Teachers in those districts got automated emails confirming their registrations. That enabled them to make appointments to get the shots, and an unknown number did so, the newspaper said.
