Fire truck stolen from British Columbia community

Someone stole a fire truck from British Columbia’s East Gate Fire Protection Society over the weekend. The truck is one of two the community has and the other one is too large to negotiate some of the narrow, steep roads in the area.

The truck is a white 1997 Ford F-350 with a flat bed, a 500-gallon plastic tank, and aluminum equipment bins.

Anyone with information about the stolen truck should call Princeton RCMP at 250-295-6911. The vehicle’s licence plate number is 4060JF, and the truck’s cab reads East Gate Fire Department.

Thanks for letting us know, JW. And, I hope they catch the jerks that stole from the fire department.

Good news for above story, (sorta) they found the rig, bad news it was stripped clean of all fire gear. As well the culprits also peeled off anything they could resell.

Word is the department plans on putting the rig back together and fully stocking it with fire gear, etc.
