A Boston firefighter is on a mission. His helmet was stolen, and he says he won’t rest until it is found.
For the better part of a year, “They do have them out there,” Boston firefighter Brian Carey has been perusing Ebay.
“There’s an old beat up helmet right here,” said Carey.
Hoping to find his firefighting helmet from Engine 14. It was stolen from the back of a fire truck.
“My heart was ripped out of my chest,” said Carey.
It’s been over a year now. Brian’s losing faith he’ll ever find it. There’s a big online market for firefighter’s helmets. Collectors will spend hundreds of dollars on just one. This one belonged to his father.
“I earned it, they didn’t. My father earned it, he passed it on to me,” said Carey.
Social media is the platform on which Brian now pleads for help, posting his story on Facebook in hopes someone does the right thing.
