According to officials with the city of Hollywood, the cars, parked at station #45, were broken into sometime before Wednesday. Several personal belongings of the firefighters were taken from the vehicles, officials said.
Battalion Chief Joel Medina told NBC 6 South Florida that the perpetrators probably caused thousands of dollars in damage.

The station, located on the corner of Taft and 64th Street, is one of the oldest in the area and does not have surveillance cameras. It also sits inside a residential neighborhood.
"I know they've talked to some of the neighbors to see if anybody saw anything," Medina said. "We're trying to narrow down the time that it happened and then move forward from here."
Anyone with information to help solve the case is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
