today at 14:39Two fire stations in the Irkutsk region burned down in a week
On the night of Sunday, January 22, a fire station building burned down in the Irkutsk region. This was reported by the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations in the region.
The incident took place in the village Bolshaya Rechka of Irkutsk region. The area of the fire in the wooden building with three cars was almost 300 square meters. The squad managed to evacuate the vehicles from the depot, but the building could not be saved as the fire completely destroyed the building.
The salvaged equipment is on standby and temporarily housed in the garage of the local road service.
It should be noted that this is the second such incident in the Irkutsk region this week. On Monday, 16 January, a local fire station building caught fire in the village of Balakhkinsky.
Two men, a driver and a firefighter, were at the scene of the fire and started extinguishing it. Despite their actions and the help that arrived, the one-storey wooden building could not be saved.
The fire brigade that had time to evacuate from the burning depot was temporarily accommodated in the building of the local heating network and is on standby.

"Wily Hitler" ...
Attention, attention! This is Germany speaking! Hitler was caught with his tail under the bridge today!
But seriously, somewhere on the Internet I saw a photo of "a man who looks like..." at a rather advanced age. And a much better quality photo than this one.

and the cost of repairs:
What is the smiling gentleman holding in his hands? A toaster? A lawnmower? Perhaps a part of an internal combustion engine? Neither the former nor the latter, and not even the third, as the astute hubrauser has already guessed. It's 4KB of old-school memory manufactured by IBM. The photo you're looking at weighs about 80KB, so such a gland is enough to save about 5% of the file.
CNET Editor-in-Chief Lindsey Turrentine ( @lturrentine) photographed her husband digging up the rarity in her grandfather's barn - apparently the memory was inherited.
UPD. astute hubraizers claim the device stores a quarter of a kilobyte of memory, not 4KB as Lindsey claims.
