A department spokeswoman said then that its ability to provide emergency services was not affected, but Mayor Catherine Pugh subsequently set into motion plans to buy an extra $1.2 million firetruck.  

Then, last month, a firetruck caught fire — and it wasn’t the first time it’s happened in Baltimore. The union said the truck was 17 years old.  

IAFF Local 734 President Richard “Dickie” Altieri posted about the incident on his Facebook page, saying the rescue truck was responding to an incident on Interstate 95 when it caught fire. He said it shows that the “dilapidated fleet needs attention sooner than later.”

It happened at the Salem Fire Department in Saline County. Assistant chief Mike Moravec just couldn't understand why someone would take from the department.

Moravec said the items stolen puts them behind, but it doesn't stop them from helping people in the community.

Marc Goldberg, Fire Science program coordinator at CCC, added that before getting the simulator, pump training required a department fire truck to be available, which is a logistical difficulty as fire crews respond to calls in northern Arizona on a 24-hour, seven-days-a-week basis. Also, there was also the wasting of hundreds of gallons of water and the possibility of a student accidentally burning out a pump, which is a costly mistake for a $700,000 fire engine.

The PumpOps simulator doesn’t use water and students and trainees can’t actually burn out a pump. Of course, they can simulate it – nowhere near as costly a proposition.

The Clarendon County Sheriff's Office said deputies used "stinger spike strips" to end the chase, which resulted in the second crash.    

Robinson was injured in the first crash, but was uninjured during the chase and second wreck. Officials said he received medical treatment once he was arrested. 

The South Carolina State Highway Patrol said Robinson could face more charges after an investigation from the first crash.
