The Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office is investigating after the Mayfield Volunteer Fire Department, not far from the Tuscaloosa-Fayette County Line, was burglarized early Tuesday morning. The Mayfield Fire Chief says not only was the station burglarized, but two fire trucks were stolen, then run off the road and abandoned.
Chief Tim Brown says a citizen called him early this morning after they saw two of his department's trucks off the side of Hwy 171. Brown says he found someone had forced their way into the department, loaded up one of the fire trucks with supplies, then left the trucks stuck on the side of the road.
