Thanks to Statter911.com for this story. For the people who go all around the world helping others when their buildings collapse due to natural disasters, this one couldn’t have been any closer to home. Overnight there was a collapse of the roof over the equipment bay at Fairfax County Fire & Rescue Department Station 410. Now, there is a roof problem at a neighboring firehouse. Firefighters report there is sagging in the roof at Station 408 in Annandale, just a little bit further south on Columbia Pike.
Here’s the story from from Susan Phillips, WUSA9.com:
Firefighters in a Fairfax County firehouse got a rude awakening early Monday morning when the roof of their firehouse partially collapsed.
Dan Schmidt, spokesperson for Fairfax County Fire and Rescue, says 18 firefighters were in the bunk room of the Fire Station 10 located in the 3600 block of Firehouse Lane when they heard a loud noise coming from the bay area around 3:00 a.m. Schmidt says the firefighters discovered the flat roof over all four bay areas collapsed under the weight of this weekend’s heavy snowfall.
