FBI warns terrorists may steal fire trucks

By Kelli Arena CNN Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The FBI issued a warning to firefighters across the
country Tuesday that terrorists could hijack their trucks and use them
as bombs. 

The FBI warning said fire and emergency services vehicles could be
stolen by terrorist groups and turned into rolling bombs aimed at
military bases or other government installations. 

The FBI asked fire departments to review the security of their stations
and vehicles.  If a vehicle is stolen, stations were asked to
immediately notify the FBI. 

The FBI did not say there was any specific and credible threat that
caused it to issue the warning. 

One official said the FBI is exercising "an abundance of caution" and is
passing on all information it is gleaning from interviews and tips,
"regardless of the reliability of the source."

Some firefighters told CNN their vehicles -- even those carrying
patients -- have been stopped and searched upon entering medical
facilities. 

The warning was sent by the FBI to the National Volunteer Fire Council
and the International Association of Fire Chiefs, which passed it on to
local fire departments.
