PEACE RIVER – One man is facing charges after police say two fire trucks were stolen in southern Alberta.

RCMP responded to a commercial alarm near the firehall in Champion, a village south of Calgary, when an officer saw two fire trucks speeding down a road without their lights on.

Mounties tried to stop the trucks, but they kept going.

Both trucks were later recovered.

RCMP say one suspect remains at large, and a 25-year-old man from Peace River, Alta., was arrested.

He has been charged with several offences, including dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and breaching release orders.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 25, 2025.
