Police are investigating the suspect accused of stealing a Vancouver fire truck on Monday night. The Vancouver Police Department responded to the report at West Mill Plain Boulevard and Kauffman Avenue around 10:30 p.m. on Jan. 15. Officers were told the Squad 1 Dodge 5500 truck had been nabbed as paramedics treated a patient near the scene. The agency partnered with the Clark County Sheriff’s Office to conduct an “extensive search” for the Vancouver Fire Department vehicle, but they were initially unable to locate it. Washington State Patrol then alerted local law enforcement that the truck had been seen on a freeway camera, and the suspect was driving into Oregon about five minutes after the incident would have happened.
