Firefighter's Work Boots Stolen During Red Bank Fire

RED BANK, NJ — Sea Bright fire personnel are seeking the public's help in identifying a man who they believe stole a pair of work boots from a member's truck during the house fire in Red Bank on Thursday.

In a post on Facebook, the fire company, which assisted at the fire on East Leonard Street Thursday, asked for information on a man in a blue Volvo station wagon.

"Does anyone recognize the blue Volvo? This guy stole one of our members work boots from his truck while he was operating at today's fire!!!" the fire company said.

Five people — four of them volunteer firefighters — were injured as a result of the fire, according to a report in the Red Bank Green.

Sea Bright Fire Rescue was one of three companies that provided mutual aid to the Red Bank Fire Department; firefighters from Middletown and Fair Haven also assisted. All of the firefighters are volunteers.

If you recognize the blue Volvo or have information on the theft, contact Sea Bright Fire Rescue at 732-842-0099 or call Red Bank police at 732-530-2700.

Red Bank Fire Department responded, with mutual aid from Middletown, Fair Haven, Little Silver, Rumson and Sea Bright.
