Fire Damages Station
At 1:54 on the morning of January 10th, 1997, a fire was discovered by on duty
personnel in the fire station. The blaze significantly damaged the building
and six emergency vehicles parked inside. The department was grateful
that none of the 11 people inside were injured. Despite this loss, services
continue to be provided to the Burke community. A temporary trailer was
placed outside the damaged facility and had one fire engine running out
of a building that used to house a specialty unit. This was replaced with
a larger temporary facility consisting of a four-module trailer system
and large military style tent to house the equipment needed to restore
full services to the community.
