A fire broke out at a fire station in Buena Park early Thursday morning.
The blaze broke out at around 3:30 a.m. at the station on the 800 block of Western Avenue, according to Captain Larry Kurtz, spokesman of the Orange County Fire Authority. Five firefighters, including the batallion chief, were asleep at the station when they heard an explosion coming from the garage. The fire was upgraded to a two-alarm blaze and crews were forced to go to "defensive mode," Kurtz said. Over 60 firefighters were battling the flames.
The flames spread from the first floor, reached to the bedrooms on the second floor, and moved all the way up to the attic.
