Fire Station Destroyed in Fire
It really sucks when you read these stories (from WBOC.com via FireFightingNews.com).
BLOXOM , Va.- It was a sick twist of fate for Bloxom volunteer firefighters. While they were out battling one fire, another fire destroyed their empty firehouse. It happened shortly after midnight.Firefighters with the Bloxom Volunteer Fire Company left their Station 6 headquarters just a little after midnight on Wednesday to respond to a call 10 minutes down the road. But an hour later they had to rush back to extinguish a roaring blaze that destroyed the building and everything inside.
They lost everything except what they had at the first incident. This includes two ambulances; one of them purchased just a couple of weeks before the fire.
We wish the Bloxom Volunteer Fire Company a speedy recovery as their replace their equipment and rebuilt a station.
