Cavs fans celebrate on fire truck after winning title
Just how crazy are Cleveland Cavaliers fans? They celebrated on top of a fire truck in Cleveland after the Cavs won Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
The chatter about the fire truck started to pick up when reporter Michael Casagrande tweeted that he was hearing talk on a police scanner about fans stealing a fire truck. Then on ESPN, John Buccigross reported there was talk of a fire truck being stolen in Cleveland.
All the chatter led to Cleveland’s police department to issue a statement dispelling the rumors:
DISPELLING FALSE REPORTS OF STOLEN FIRE TRUCK. NO EMERGENCY VEHICLES HAVE BEEN STOLEN.

See, the fire truck was not stolen. This, however, is not okay. pic.twitter.com/wqoK6idMYD

Though the fire truck may not have been stolen, what we do know is that Cavs fans were partying on a fire truck:

Hey — Cleveland hadn’t won a sports title since 1964 prior to this one. Their celebration is understandable!
