Hidden spy camera found in the women´s bunk room in fire station

en

Emergency medical technicians at Fire Station 8 in El Cajon, California, have filed a legal claim after discovering hidden cameras disguised as everyday objects in their bunkrooms. 

The devices, one posing as a phone charger and another concealed in a clock, were found in spaces where female emergency responders slept and changed clothes, Firehouse.com reports. 

The discovery has left female workers shaken, fearing for their privacy and safety. Despite filing claims for emotional distress and seeking workplace accountability, they allege that no thorough investigation has been conducted. The city of El Cajon, near San Diego, declined their claim, with officials citing an ongoing criminal probe but offering little transparency about its progress.

The women say they now struggle with anxiety at work, unsure who to trust. Some have asked for transfers, while others refuse to use bunkrooms altogether. With the case still unresolved and little corrective action taken, concerns over workplace safety and privacy remain at the forefront of the discussion.
