Burnt down fire station 'did not have fire alarm'

A West Sussex fire station which did not have a fire alarm fitted has been badly damaged in a blaze.

Ambulance service staff, who also work in the Arundel Fire Station building in Ford Road, Arundel, found smoke coming from the premises on Wednesday.

Thirty firefighters from neighbouring stations were sent to the blaze, which destroyed the town's fire engine.

It is thought the blaze, which severely damaged the roof of the building, started in the fire engine bay.
