On March 9 Cal Fire officials found that someone had used bolt cutters to break into the Buckhorn fire station in Whitmore and steal several items. A car with four people was observed on security cameras.  

In the days following the burglary, Cal Fire law enforcement officers saw some of the items had been placed for sale online, and an undercover operation was set up to purchase the items.

Firefighters questioned the reliability and safety of such vehicles, and one aged fire engine was subsequently completely removed from service after a fire captain labeled it "unfit for front line service."  

Channel 2 Investigates found that very few firefighters realized they were riding in and relying on vehicles that were deemed total losses by the city of Houston in late September.

Corsicana’s new engine will join three frontline engines for daily use as the new Engine No. 4.

The current engine will be officially named Engine No. 5 and placed in reserve status at the ceremony.Attendees heard Fire Department Dispatch officially placing Engine No. 4 into service during the ceremony and were treated to Collin Street Bakery pastries and coffee.
