Excerpts from Fox6now.com:
Equipment was stolen from a Milwaukee fire truck while at a fire Tuesday, June 29 on the city’s south side. Fire crews had to call for backup when they realized someone was running away with a piece of equipment as firefighters searched for people who were reported stranded in a house fire.
Firefighters found no one was in the house, but one firefighter was treated for minor injuries at the hospital. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
It is still unknown exactly what was stolen from that fire truck. Fire officials said they are working with police to do inventory on the truck.

Two people were rescued with the Milwaukee Fire Department Dive Team searching for a third after a police pursuit ended in a rollover crash along the bank of the Milwaukee River on Wednesday, December 2, 2020.
If the vehicle had rolled once more, it would’ve ended up in the Milwaukee River.
