Jaws of Life stolen from Oakland firefighters responding to a call
In the middle of a rescue call last week, someone stole the Jaws of Life from Oakland firefighters, authorities said.
Firefighters had brought out the tool during the call. After they used it, fire officials discovered the equipment had been taken, according to a spokesperson with the Oakland Police Department.
Used by emergency personnel after serious car crashes, the hydraulic tool pries open or cuts through wreckage to rescue someone inside. Jaws of Life tools can be operated by a single individual and generally weigh around 50 pounds.
An Oakland police spokesperson said their tool was taken at about 7:15 p.m. Friday in the 1600 block of West Street.
Police released no information about suspects.
A spokesperson for the Oakland Fire Department said the agency was working with police to recover the tool.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Oakland Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Division at (510) 238-3728.
