Due to dry conditions, the fire spread quickly, engulfing the surroundings — including the grass and wooden debris — to the rear of the station. The station premises were in the line of fire in the front, too.

Their confidence and teamwork, indeed, succeeded in the total extinguishing of the fire.
However, thanks to quick response of the operators, the fire stopped its expansion and no vehicles, ammunition, or other materials were damaged due to the fire. At this point, the problem continued to escalate until it became a severe disaster if it was not responded to immediately.
This incident exposes the need to have quick respond and collaborative efforts, which have been effective way of dealing with such emergencies.
