    Like, how does this happen? Were there not firefighters at the fire station? Surely a fire at a fire station would be extraordinarily simple to extinguish given that everything and everyone is already assembled. State of the art? Huh? And what kind of fire code is that? You don’t need a fire alarm because this building just holds equipment. Yeah. And people.

      The home directly next door to our town fire station (less than 200 yards away) burned down when I was in high school. Also it was also the fire chief’s former house.

      We kinda always assumed it was for insurance money, but I really have no idea.

      They’re almost certainly volunteer fire fighters given that this is a rather small town, so there might not have been any present at the time.
