"Upon contacting the two occupants of the truck, deputies noticed they were both wearing turnout gear," LASD's statement said. "The occupants claimed to be from 'Roaring River Fire Department' in Oregon."

Investigators determined that the department was not actually a legitimate agency and that the fire truck they were driving was purchased through an auction.
