Fire burns Oregon City fire station
Captain Jamie Karn said they found one of the fire engines had caught fire.
It may have been the quickest fire response ever, when Oregon City firefighters found flames coming out of their own fire station.
The Clackamas County Dispatch called the fire station Thursday morning to tell them the alarm was coming from their own station.
Captain Jamie Karn said they found one of the fire engines had caught fire. They used another engine to put out the flames. "They opened the doors to the apparatus bay and pulled out one of the engines. They donned their safety gear and then began attacking the fire."
Not before hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage was caused to the fire engine and the station. Three firefighters suffered minor smoke inhalation, but they'll recover.
Karn said the flames appeared to come from the engine compartment of the fire truck. It was destroyed.
Told ya I heard an explosion last night!
