Fire station in Nagoya, Japan burns after cooking mishap
‘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.’
In case you didn’t know, Nagoya is the city where I lived in Japan. Craziness. I guess it just goes to show that even firefighters can be absent-minded.
