Authorities say a fire breaks out at a home in Dalton, New Hampshire, where firefighters respond to the blaze. During the incident, police allege that Nestor Roman II steals a rescue truck from the emergency scene while firefighters are working. Fox News reports the alleged theft nearly strikes three firefighters.
Police say Roman, 30, later crashes the stolen vehicle several miles away from his burning home. The New York Post reports he faces multiple charges. Both outlets describe the same sequence: a home fire prompts the firefighter response, a rescue truck is allegedly taken during the operation, and the suspect is accused of abandoning the incident by driving the vehicle until it crashes nearby.
The accounts emphasize different details—Fox highlights the close call involving firefighters, while the New York Post focuses on the suspect’s age and the fact that authorities file multiple charges—while remaining consistent on the core allegations and timeline.
