Thief tries to burn down Okla. firehouse

Crews were able to put the fire out before destroying the firehouse; police are searching for the suspect

KELLYVILLE, Okla. — Investigators are looking for a thief who tried to set a fire department on fire this week using a stolen tractor.

KRMG reported that the thief stole a tractor and set it on fire. The person then pushed the tractor into the Kellyville (Okla.) Fire Department building.

“The fire department’s got fire wagons in the building,” a resident said. “If they had gotten on fire in there, it would have been a bad deal.”

Crews were able to put the fire out and save the firehouse. The tractor was a total loss.

Police are still searching for the suspect.
