One of dodge county's volunteer fire departments wants to know why someone would steal a siren and radio from a firetruck.

Roddy volunteer fire chief kevin cranford says a newly purchased radio and a siren went missing from a truck about a week ago .

He says someone used that radio to pose as a first responder.

Cranford says the loss is upsetting because the fire department only receives about 6-thousand dollars per year, while his department's expenses average 14-thousand annually.

"being we're strictly volunteers, we don't have a lot down here as it is.

Everything we got we work very hard for.

We get limited money from the county.

It's enough money to pay the bills and put fuel in the truck.

That is about it.

The maintenance and all the equipment we have to buy ourselves."

Cranford says the stolen radio is worth eight hundred dollars, which the fire department paid for with grant money.
