The fire was reported shortly after 4:30 a.m. near Western and La Palma avenues.

According to the Orange County Fire Authority, at least one fire truck has been destroyed by flames.

Damn. Of all the places you’d never expect a fire.

[Daniel Ramsey]

What, no fire alarms?

[max americana]

Buena Park is a small city here in L.A. and right mow, it’s been raining hard for the past 10 hours. No need for fire trucks...

How long did it take the firemen to arrive!?!

Yeah I know its the damn fire station. Why I’m asking.

[CrazyIvan]

I remember an add for an iron that would shut itself off back when that kind of thing was rare. It showed a man ironing and you hear the fire alarm. You see him leave the Iron face down on the clothing and run to the firetruck. Always thought it was very cleverly done.

Forget it, Jake.

The irony is palpable.

That reminds me of a scene from the movie Roxanne when Martin’s character returns to the fire station to find the trash can on fire:

. . . dammit we’re supposed to put them out!
