In Lyons, Oregon, the Linn County Sheriff’s Office is searching for who made what was apparently a fake 911 call early Sunday morning about a car crash. The call brought Lyons Rural Fire District Volunteer Firefighter Josh Liddell out of his bed and to the firehouse in his pickup. Liddell left his vehicle at the firehouse and jumped on a fire truck to head to the scene. But there was no scene. And when Liddell returned to the firehouse there was no pickup truck. Here’s more from KPTV-TV:
They quickly realized Liddell’s pickup had been stolen and another firefighter’s car had been ransacked.
Liddell says it’s upsetting to think that someone would take advantage of rescue workers. At the time, he said, he and the other firefighters had a rescue on their minds.
Liddell’s missing pickup is a 1999 Toyota Tacoma two-wheel drive. It’s forest green in color and has tinted windows, black custom wheels and a Lyons Fire Department license plate holder.
