The alarm was raised when smoke was spotted at about 05:20 on Monday.

I'm surprised they don't have automatic fire detection with an autodialler.

No need. Fire stations don't burn.
Wonder who did the FRA.

Maybe someone fancied some chips on his/her way home from the pub and was passing the station.

Or they left the xmas tree lights on overnight.

Or it was deliberate. I wonder who will investigate it?
