Fire Station Burns Down

Here is another incident involving a fire station near Boulder, CO (from longmontfyi.com).

BOULDER — Steve Lavington didn’t expect to have as wild a Friday night as the one he experienced this weekend.

The longtime Sunshine Canyon resident watched as the fire station that sat just 200 feet from his home on Boulder County Road 83 burned nearly to the ground.

“I saw flames ... and immediately called 911,” Steve Lavington told the Daily Times-Call on Saturday.

The cause of the fire, which destroyed the Sunshine Fire Protection District station, was still under investigation Saturday.

...

Because firefighters quickly responded to the scene, they were able to rescue two trucks parked in the station’s garage, he said.

I'm sure the Sunshine Fire Protection District would appreciate any assistance you can give them.

If I find out any more details, I'll post them.
