Fire station burns after cooking mishap

[Spiritwarrior]

A blaze broke out at a fire station in Japan this week after a firefighter left a cooking stove burning as crew members left the station to respond to emergency calls.

Most of the duty staffers were out on a call when their colleague, alone at the station and cooking dinner for the crew, was himself called out.

In his haste to respond to the call, he forgot to turn the stove off, said Seiji Hori, a Nagoya City Fire Department official. Ten fire trucks from other stations put out the fire, Hori added.

It really is: they're running a fire station, and their station is on fire.

It's pretty rare to see that happen, though.

It is odd that a firestation does not have water sprinklers to put out the fire.
