Late Sunday night while our volunteer firefighters were on Tenth Street in the middle of the night, doing what they always do, protecting our community, a shocking theft took place.
While our members were actively fighting a fire, someone stole a rescue saw valued at $3000 from the back of one of our fire trucks. This wasn't just a piece of equipment, it is a critical lifesaving tool that our firefighters rely on during emergencies.
What makes this even more heartbreaking is that this equipment wasn't purchased by a large organization. It was purchased through the generosity of our community. Every fundraiser, every donation, every ticket purchased, and every dollar contributed by local residents helped put this tool on our truck.
To steal from a volunteer fire department while firefighters are risking their own safety to protect others is more than theft, it is a theft from every member of this community.
Someone witnessed this happen, and we're hopeful that others may have seen something as well. If you were in the area of Tenth Street last night or have any information, no matter how small it may seem, please contact the appropriate authorities. Your information could help recover this essential piece of equipment and hold the person responsible accountable.
Our volunteers will continue to answer every call, day or night, because that's what we do. We simply ask that our community stand with us now, just as we have always stood with you.
Please share this post. Together, we can help bring this vital piece of equipment back where it belongs.
