A disturbing viral TikTok video has sparked outrage after it showed Long Island Fire Chief Peter Alt screaming profanities at a frightened 10-year-old girl strapped to a stretcher. The child, emotionally distressed after losing her phone, was being loaded into an ambulance in West Babylon when Alt, a 22-year department veteran, yelled, “Shut the f**k up!” as she cried out, “I want to go home.” The shocking incident, captured on camera, has led to widespread condemnation and Alt’s suspension while an internal investigation is underway. The fire company has labeled the chief’s actions “unacceptable,” and the public is now demanding accountability, not just for Alt, but for others who failed to intervene.
