“Last night between 8:30 and 9:45 we presume, someone placed these devices meant to puncture tires in front of one of our fire engines,” the Facebook post said. “We are reviewing camera footage and are asking for the community’s assistance in providing any info you may have witnessed or know of any cameras that are in the vicinity of the station that may shed light on who did this.
“It is disheartening for someone to take such dangerous measures against our equipment and staff. We intend to pursue this extensively until the person responsible is found.
