ATLANTA — An Atlanta firefighter’s truck was stolen while parked at the fire station.

The bold crime has alarmed many people including the Atlanta Professional firefighters union. Atlanta Police say firefighter Tyler Smith’s Nissan truck was stolen in the middle of the night at station #17 on Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard in Southwest Atlanta. Fighting fires is one of the most dangerous jobs in the country, but while these public servants are putting their lives on the line for us, some crooks are on the take.

“This is the first time I’ve ever heard of one being stolen from the fire station. They busted out the back window, stole all the property inside including the uniforms for his part time job,” Vic Bennett of Local 134 commented.
