Paramedic blanket story covers Web

Blankets donated to Detroit EMS after posting goes viral

Outrage over a Detroit EMS paramedic Jeff Gaglio being charged by his department after providing a fire victim with a blanket has gone viral.

"We are getting sent blankets from all over the country, even from overseas," said Detroit EMS medic Robert Shelton. "It is amazing what is going on here."

Three weeks ago Gaglio provided a senior citizen, who was forced out of his home by a fire with few clothes on, a blanket to warm him.

Two weeks later, Gaglio was officially informed that he would be brought up on departmental charges for giving away city-owned property.
