Four volunteer firefighters celebrated the Steelers' AFC championship win by going for a ride in a fire engine and sideswiping a parked car, Shaler police said.

The car suffered about $5,000 in damage, according to police.

Police are investigating to determine whether charges are warranted against the firefighters, who had been watching the game at a fire hall.

Two of the four firefighters have been suspended while the investigation is pending.
