Subject: Theft of Jacksonville Fire Department Equipment
January 2, 2003
Sometime between 12/29/02, 0900 hours and 12/30/02, 0730 hours persons
unknown entered Jacksonville Fire Station # 25 located at 5423 manor Drive
in Jacksonville, FL and stole the following Jacksonville Fire Department
equipment: 11 Fire Safety Helmets; 12 High Intensity Saber Flash Lights; 2
pair of Fire Safety Pants and 2 pair of Fire Safety Boots. The equipment
was reportedly last seen hanging on equipment hooks in the truck bay area of
the Fire Station. It is suspected that the equipment was stolen when
employees had been out on calls for service. No sign of forced entry. No
equipment or personal items are apparently missing from any other areas of
the station. This matter was reported to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office
(JSO case # 1134121).
From a Domestic Security perspective, the theft of uniforms and equipment
always represents a concern related to impersonations that may be
orchestrated by would-be terrorists. All agencies are requested to be aware
of this advisory and notify the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office if any leads
are developed concerning the location of the equipment and possible suspects
in this matter.

I hope that the PD/SO also keeps a close eye on Ebay. It really sucks, but that is a likely place for this stuff to show up. Good luck to the affected department in getting their equipment back or at least finding the idiot responsible.
