The fire broke out early Wednesday morning at the Stadtallendorf fire station in Hesse and destroyed, among other things, the equipment hall and almost a dozen emergency vehicles, German news agency dpa reported.

據德國新聞社報導，這起火災週三清晨發生在黑森邦施塔特塔倫多夫消防局，燒毀了該局裝備室和將近12輛消防緊急救援車輛等多項設施。

Local officials told dpa that no fire alarm system was installed in the building because experts had considered it not necessary — much to the astonishment of many observers now that the station has burned down.

當地官員向德新社表示，該棟建築物並未安裝火災警報系統，因為專家認為沒有必要—這一點在消防局被大火燒毀後，令許多關注此事的人震驚。

The station opened less than a year ago, local media reported.(AP)
