TEMPLE, Texas — Temple Fire Department crews put out a fire at one of its own fire stations Saturday night.
In a news release, the department said the fire broke out at Fire Station 5 on North Apache Drive at 7:09 p.m. Five crews from neighboring stations responded and were able to put it out by 7:34 p.m., the news release said.
Fire damage was reported in a kitchen area and smoke damage was reported at the entire station, the department said.
Nobody was injured.
The department said they believe the fire was caused by a pan that was left on a hot stove.
“While we are grateful no one was hurt, this incident shows the seriousness of kitchen safety,” Temple Fire & Rescue PIO Santos Soto said. “A moment of complacency can quickly turn into a disaster.”
Crews working at Station 5 will temporarily be relocated to Station 8, but continue to respond to calls within their district, the department said.
