The Scio Township Fire Department has its fire engine back.
Around 1 p.m., firefighters were on a detail, at the Jackson Road Meijer, according to social media reports.
According to a press release from Fire Chief Andrew Houle, an individual unknown to the fire department entered one of the fire engines and drove it away. Firefighters immediately called police. Washtenaw Central Dispatch tracked the engine traveling east on Jackson Avenue into the City of Ann Arbor. Ann Arbor City Police stopped the vehicle near Jackson Avenue and Lakevew Drive and detained the suspect. The suspect was turned over to the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office.
It appears there is no damage or missing equipment to the fire engine. The fire department is investigating the circumstances that led to the theft.
"The Scio Township Fire Department would like to thank Washtenaw Metro Dispatch
(police dispatch center), Washtenaw Central Dispatch (fire/EMS dispatch center), the
Ann Arbor Police Department, and the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office for their swift action in locating and recovering our stolen engine. Most importantly, we are grateful that no civilians were injured in this incident." the press release read.
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 72 and low of 50 degrees. Overcast for the morning, cloudy during the afternoon and evening, overcast overnight.
The city hiring process doesn't pass the sniff test. The schools have issues too. This is looking systemic.
What is going on at city hall? Like the schools, we need independent investigations to reveal the facts and the truths and a review of the activities being conducted publicly and behind closed door. Impropriety seems to be real but we won’t know without an independent investigation.
