NEHAWKA, Neb. (AP) — Firefighters in an eastern Nebraska village could do little but watch their station burn after a fire broke out inside.

The blaze began around 8 p.m. Monday in the Cass County town of Nehawka.

Chief Sean Huckleberry says all his volunteers stood and watched the flames while waiting for firetrucks from nearby department to arrive.

Huckleberry says most of the department’s firefighting gear and an ambulance were destroyed. It’s not clear yet whether any of the department’s five trucks can be salvaged.

No injuries have been reported. The fire cause is being investigated.
