Fire at South African Fire Station
Occasionally, you will see an article about a fire at a fire station here in the U.S. Well, it happens all over the world. Here is an example from South Africa (from the Independent Online via FirefightingNews.com).
What do you do when you see a building on fire? You call the fire department, of course.However, it gets a bit more complicated when it's the fire department that's on fire.
This is exactly what happened when the Fish Hoek Fire Brigade was contacted by a neighbourhood resident who bluntly told them their station was on fire.
Had it not been for the vigilant resident the whole fire station could have gone up, causing untold embarrassment to the fire brigade.
The fire was contained to an apartment upstairs and the firefighters in the article seem to have a pretty good sense of humor. Read the whole thing.
PS. What is with all of the fire stories from South Africa all of a sudden?
