The Billings Fire Department is requesting the public's help in finding gear that was stolen from a personal vehicle Friday night (08/26). Unfortunately, no security camera footage captured any suspect information regarding this case, however a police report has been filed.

The items pictured above are an estimate; some items may vary from what exactly was stolen, but everything was contained in the red duffle bag, which was the item stolen. According to the City of Billings, the thief took the bag likely without realizing what it was, but the items inside aren't of any use to a regular citizen.
