Firemen Accidently Burn Down Fire Station

A group of North German firefighters have been branded the "world's worst" after their own station burned to the ground. The fire was so large, nearly 250 firemen from other regions were required to extinguish it.

All of their fire trucks were also destroyed in the blaze. Investigators are trying to determine the cause of the accident, which may have been a training accident or an electrical fault.

This marks the second time since 1994 that the station has been gutted by fire. Locals of the area are unimpressed, with one saying, "A fire service that can't even keep its own fire station and engines safe doesn't exactly inspire confidence."
