The fire started at approximately 6 a.m. at Station 3 on University Drive SE. A 1997 Ford Louisville Pumper was destroyed and the structure sustained smoke damage as result of the fire.
Three firefighters who were on duty were alerted by fire alarms and could see flames through a window in the door leading to the bays, Fire Chief Bill Mund told the newspaper.
A water line used to wash the vehicles was used to put out the flames.
