VIDEO: The Westfield Fire Department is sounding the alarm after they say a stray bullet came through the roof and ceiling of one of its stations, narrowly missing a firefighter who was getting ready for bed.

“Thankfully, no one was injured, but this could have ended very differently,” the fire department said on social media.

This happened at the Westfield Fire Station 2 on Bentley Road. WFD said the bullet missed the firefighter by just two feet.

“Shooting a gun into the air isn’t just against the law… it’s deadly conduct with potentially deadly consequences,” WFD said. “If you hear what sounds like gunfire, call 9-1-1 immediately. One call can save a life.”

The fire department said shots fired into the air can travel up to three miles from where they were shot, damage home and vehicles, and cause serious injury or death.
