The theft happened at Toronto Fire Station 227 on Queen Street East near Woodbine Avenue around 4:45 a.m.
Police say someone broke into the fire station through a window and drove a fire truck through the station’s closed bay doors. A part of the door was found across the street on the ground.
Const. Ed Parks, a Toronto police spokesperson, said it’s unclear if the keys were in the truck.
The vehicle was found about a 10-minute drive away from the fire station on Unwin Avenue near Cherry Beach, police added.
A 28-year-old woman faces 14 charges, including break and enter, theft of motor vehicle, possession of property obtained by crime and failure to comply with a probation order.
Police said the woman remains in custody. A court date has not yet been set.
