I think it’s really funny that this story is out here on the web. Strattanville is such a tiny place for someone to hear about us. I’m a firefighter with said department and find it ironic that you would use us as an example, because a few years ago (like 20 or so) our fire hall actually did catch on fire and burn down.

In Australia there was a case recently where the firestation burned down. It turned out that there was no fire alarm fitted. Only in Australia….

In Arizona, a few years back, a guy broke into the DEA compound and stole back a ford bronco that was seized when it was busted transporting drugs. They thought that they had found everything in the car as it was thoroughly searched by humans and dogs but apparently there was something still important in it for someone to steal the car back form them.

Isn’t there a Mickey Mouse cartoon of such a story?

Modern Fire stations are equipped with sprinklers. But Most older ones have never been updated.

Fires at Fire Stations happen more than you would think.
Usually its because they were Cooking a meal when they get a call and they don’t turn off the burners in their hurry to get going. The newer stations have a kill switch near the main door that they hit on the way out. It shuts down the stove/oven until someone resets it.

I wonder how prepared a fire station is for a fire inside!?
