A Castle Rock man has been arrested on suspicion of stealing fuel cards and thousands of dollars worth of equipment from some Woodland-area fire trucks.

The Daily News of Longview reported Timothy Steven Moss, 30, was seen on surveillance cameras using one of the stolen gas cards to fill up a red Toyota truck at the Commercial Fueling Network station in Woodland. In all, $1,500 worth of fuel was stolen, along with $16,300 worth of firefighting and medical gear.

The victim was Cowlitz County Fire District 1, which had to remove three of its vehicles from service temporarily because they lacked adequate gear.

The burglary was reported April 11 at a volunteer fire station along Woodland Heights Road.
