Initial reports were that the firetruck was stolen by fans and being driven around the city.

But Cleveland Police have poured cold water on that, Tweeting, in all caps:
“Dispelling false reports of stolen fire truck. No emergency vehicles have been stolen.”

By the looks of their Twitter feed, the police are celebrating the Cavs’ win just as hard as the rest of Cleveland.

LEBRON JAMES WILL FOREVER BE CLEVELAND’S SAVIOUR
