“The station is about 50% damaged and we will have to relocate the District 1 station to the Station 17 located near the intersection of Brownswitch and Robert Roads for now,” said Chief of Administration Chris Kaufmann. 

The hose tender, a large truck used to carry fire hoses, was destroyed along with the personal vehicles of three firefighters.
