Breaking News - Explosion! PD is on fire!

Police Station of Concord is on fire! Today the Fire Department was alerted to a very big fire. The upper level of PD Station was on fire which also extended to the roof and the lower level of building. The FD arrived with many apparatus to extinguish the big flames. The PD closed the whole area around the building in wide circle. The extinguish of fire taken hours and FD needed reinforcement units from the Western FD station. The fortune in misfortune is that there is only one injured person who suffered severe burns and smoke inhalation, but transported to hospital in time and he is alive and beyond the life-threatening.
Flames everywhere but the FD arrived

Spreading flames on the roof, the helicopter later exploded by the flames
Spectator area...
The reinforcement have arrived
Occupied street
Fireman in trouble
The end of the flames, FD won again
After the fire extinguish we interviewed the FD on the location:
CCN: - Can you explain me what happened here, please?
Lance Sorex (FD): *nods* - At about 12:30 pm today a large fire broke out here at the police station, we responded quickly however it was to big so we called in a second alarm brining out another engine truck. Inside we found one person who we got out quickly, and he is currently at the hospital being treated for burns and smoke inhalation. The building is an almost complete loss, the second floor is partially collapsed and we have ordered the building condemed until a proper inspection can be done by the fire investigators, and until they can determine the cause.
CCN: - I see, but I think it is definable what could have caused the fire. It was a technical failure or criminal act?
Pat Alderson (FD): *looks up* - At this time it could be anything, we plan on having a full scale investigation possibly within the next few hours, the cause might come out later tonight. At one point in the fight, the Police Helicopter on the roof exploded, assuming it was because of the extreme pressure of the fire. That will all come out after our investigation is complete.
CCN: - Any personal injury happened?
Lance Sorex (FD): *nods* - As I stated previously, not to our crews however there was one individual in the dispatch room who was taken to hospital with severe burns and smoke inhalation, from what I have heard he is doing ok now. Oh and one other thing, Until the Investigation is fully complete this section of Monroe Ave will remain closed to through traffic.
CCN: - Thank you the interview, our firemen did a great job again!
