Thieves Steal Equipment From KCFD #3 Cherry Lane Station

Klickitat County Fire District #3 says sometime late Monday night or early Tuesday morning someone broke into the district’s Cherry Lane Station 32 and stole a number of pieces of equipment. District Chief Wesley Long says firefighters arriving around 4:20 Tuesday morning at the unoccupied station to retrieve trucks needed for a small brush fire found all three vehicles had compartment doors open, equipment strewn about on the floor, and several items missing.  Among the missing items are an MSA thermal imaging camera, a Physio Control automatic external defibrillator, a Dewault extrication sawzall, chargers, and blades, three portable flashlights, and a Stihl weed trimmer.  Anyone who has information about vehicles or pedestrians in the vicinity of the Cherry Lane station late Monday night or early Tuesday morning is asked to contact the Klickitat County Sherriff’s Office immediately.  Long notes  Fire District #3 is a small agency with limited ability to fund critical equipment, facilities and other items, and having life-saving equipment stolen is difficult to comprehend and has created a huge financial burden for the district.
