Today in South Alabama

Funny: Firefighter fakes calls to ride truck

Stapleton Volunteer Firefighter Michael Salter Jr. liked to ride fire trucks so much that he called in false alarms to his own department -- twice in two days, Baldwin County authorities said today.

He's now charged with two counts of rendering a false alarm.

The Baldwin County Sheriff's Office said today that Salter admitted to calling in phony emergencies from his Stapleton residence.

When investigators asked him why, he said, he "just loved" to ride on the fire truck, according to sheriff's spokesman Maj. Anthony Lowery.
