Firefighters at Station 66 off Brockman Road in Beaverton returned from responding to emergencies on December 15 to find their tires slashed. The vehicle of a citizen who had to park in the lot due to the recent storm was also damaged.
Beaverton Police Department has been investigating.
Though we're very disappointed that someone would target first responders, we were relieved the culprit wasn't able to get at the tires of an emergency vehicle.
More than anything, we are so humbled by the incredible generosity of our community. Between Les Schwab and donations initiated by citizens, all the tow fees and tire expenses have been covered.
The two Go Fund Me accounts started by citizens have been closed. If you're still in the giving spirit, please consider volunteering or donating to a local shelter or non profit.
