Japanese Firefighter burned his own Fire Station!

This is not something to laugh about but it is better to take this with a little bit of humor because of the circumstances of how things happened and the people involved in this.

TOKYO (Reuters) – A blaze broke out at a fire station in Japan this week after a firefighter left a cooking stove burning as crew members left the station to respond to emergency calls.

Most of the duty staffers were out on a call when their colleague, alone at the station and cooking dinner for the crew, was himself called out.

In his haste to respond to the call, he forgot to turn the stove off, said Seiji Hori, a Nagoya City Fire Department official. Ten fire trucks from other stations put out the fire, Hori added.

C.C. probably doesn´t have problems with the stove.

“We are an institute that should be in a position to educate people about fire, so we are extremely sorry that such an incident happened,” Hori said, adding that they would consider ordering-in for dinner from now on.

Fortunately, nobody got hurt, except their pride…This case is probably irony at its best!
