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.
