Chair Shawver, Vice-Chair Steggell and Honorable Board Directors:
Last evening, at approximately 1:40 AM, ECC was notified by the crew assigned to Truck 85
(Garden Grove) that the Truck had been stolen and driven off the campus of UCI hospital, in
Orange. The crew was transferring patient care over to the hospital staff and the Engineer
was putting the medical equipment back into the compartments when they heard the engine
change gears and drive away.
The crew of Truck 85 contacted ECC to report that the Truck had been stolen and ECC
immediately reported to law enforcement the theft of the apparatus. To assist in locating
Truck 85 apparatus, ECC provided CHP Truck 85’s automatic vehicle location (AVL) system
data.
The CHP contacted the apparatus in the area of Southbound Interstate 5, at Red Hill, and
initiated pursuit. The pursuit ended in the area of Brookhurst and Dale. The suspect was
taken into custody without incident. The Truck 85 crew was transported to the scene by
Battalion 1.
The Truck had what appeared to be minor damage and was driven back to station 85 where
the crew swapped into a Relief Truck and went back into service.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information.
Happy Holidays.
Chief Fennessy
