TURLOCK, Calif. — People attending a recent sideshow climbed aboard and pulled on equipment of a fire truck, police say.
According to a press release from the Turlock Police Department, firefighters were on a call near West Monte Vista Avenue and North Berkeley Avenue around 11 p.m. on Wednesday, May 5.
