Approx $250,000 for a water tender. At least $500,000 for a pumper truck. To steal such an expensive and important piece of machinery all to wreck it a block down the road in an ice storm no less. Fortunately the thing didn't sustain serious damage, unfortunately the idiot who caused the mess ran away before anyone could catch them.

That’s even on the low end for a fire truck these days. Pumpers usually start at $500k, ladders around $750k, and quints (combination ladder/pump) push $1 million. Those prices can easily go up from there once they are customized for the department they are going to.
