Firefighters found themselves in an odd situation Friday morning after a man who called 911 to be rescued from the Scarborough bluffs allegedly tried to steal a fire truck. The emergency call came in shortly before 8:20 a.m., according to Stephan Powell, a district chief with Toronto Fire Services. The man, 40, told dispatch he was stuck on the bluffs but his cellphone died before he could provide a specific location to police. While emergency services on the scene were occupied with the search, the man allegedly tried to get into a fire truck and drive away, said Toronto police Const. "You think you've seen everything and then this call comes along," he told CBC Toronto.
