Last night a video was posted on The Somerville News website around midnight, it was a disgusting video. Once the publishers were made aware of the video at 8 a.m., we had it removed.

We sincerely apologize to every single Firefighter here in Somerville and elsewhere for this horrible video, we certainly do not agree with it’s content in any way, we ourselves found it to be offensive along with all who watched this video. We think Firefighters are heroes, we thank them for all they do to serve us, the public, putting their lives on the line every single day.

We sincerely apologize for this horrible and unfortunate mistake that was made here by posting it, we want to assure everyone that we not only removed it, we deleted the post.
