No Vehicle Is Safe: First Responders' Vehicles Broken Into At Fire HQ

BRANFORD, CT — A couple of hours before dawn Monday, three people broke into three different vehicles parked at the Branford Fire Department headquarters, officials said.

The trio spent nearly 10 minutes breaking and entering two personal vehicles and one town vehicle, causing "significant damage" including broken windows and paint damage, Branford Fire department Chief Tom Mahoney told Patch.

Mahoney said that surveillance video "shows them taking their time in a very well lit parking lot like they didn’t have a care in the world."

"Fearless and brazen," is how Mahoney described the incident. "Very sad."

The Branford Professional Firefighters Local 2533 posted to Facebook, sharing that "two of the on-shift firefighter/paramedics had their vehicles broken into."
