Over the weekend, the 2000 Chevy Blazer Auburntown Responder Truck was recovered. Auburntown Fire Chief Blackburn observed the vehicle parked on top of a hill on the north side of Hwy 96. The vehicle was in good running condition and all the emergency equipment was still inside. The ignition key had been taken from the key ring and the ring was thrown in the grass approximately 100 feet away from the vehicle. The vehicle was processed and there were no visible prints on any of the doors or door jams. There was no oily residue and it appears the suspects wiped the surfaces down after parking it. The responder truck had been reported stolen last Thursday morning.
