Such a shame.....I saw a quote on the stations Facebook page that they believe the fire was set by juveniles. Here is the link ( for those with Facebook)

This is really sad. Here are three images from a few years ago.

The station was in a very deteriorated condition.

I recall when the dispatchers were on the 2nd floor.

Here's another photo. I took this when I was in Salamanca in August 2008.

Sad story. I hope that there weren't any injuries fighting the fire.

Long time abandoned buildings, esp those occupied by squatters or drug houses, are exceptionally dangerous inside. Missing parts of floors, stairs cut away, booby traps, etc.

It was built to last ...but not forever.
