Someone stole a Billings firefighter’s turnout gear out of his vehicle sometime Friday night or early Saturday morning, and the Fire Department is asking for help getting it back.
The department took to social media to request that whoever stole the gear return it. Or, if someone finds it, they’re asked to turn it in to the department.
Valued at about $6,000, the gear has little value to anyone other than the firefighter to whom it’s assigned.
Battalion Chief Kevin Bentz told KTVQ the department has had luck in the past seeking the return of stolen equipment.
