Define Irony

Thankfully, there were no serious injuries.

"It's not everyday you see a fire in a firehouse, but that is what happened Saturday morning in West Oak Lane. Fire commissioner Lloyd Ayers says three firefighters were injured at Engine 73 at 76th and Ogontz while checking their equipment. All were taken to Einstein Medical Center:

"One of the apparatus apparently jumped out of the pump and it went into the front wall of the fire station and caused a fire. We had three injured members, one member injured directly by the vehicles, the two other members with smoke inhalation."

Two of the firefighters were released from the hospital while the third is listed in good condition.

City Managing Director Pedro Ramos:

"It's an unusual occurrence to have a fire at a firehouse but things happen. And in this case, we're very grateful as are the families of the firefighters that were in the house that at this time it appears that nobody was seriously hurt. "The firehouse garage and a few trucks were badly damaged. The fire commissioner says it seems firefighters were checking equipment and somehow, one of the trucks shifted out of gear." (H/T - KYW)

Captain Den should have more on this as it develops.
