FIREMEN BURN DOWN THEIR OWN STATION A GROUP of firefighters have been branded the world’s worst after their own fire station burned to the ground. All six of the station’s fire engines perished in the £3 million blaze in Syke, northern Gemany and it took 250 fireman from neighbouring towns to finally get the inferno under control. Investigators believe the firemen could have triggered the blaze themselves in a training exercise accident or that faulty wiring was to blame, according to reports in the Austrian Times. The weekend blaze was the second time the brigade has lost all its engines in a fire. The station was rebuilt in 1994 after being gutted by a fire. One local said: “A fire service that can’t keep its own fire station and engines safe doesn’t exactly inspire confidence.” http://www.dailystar.co.uk/starfun/view/65612/Firemen-burn-down-their-own-station/
