A group of Cherokee County firefighters are being temporarily relocated after an accident left their station without power Sunday afternoon, Fox5Atlanta.com reported.
At 4:45 p.m. Sunday, firefighters were inside Fire Station 24 on 1000 River Park Boulevard when they heard a loud explosion, Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services reported.
When they went to check on the noise, they discovered a vehicle had left the road and hit the station, its transformer, and its backup generator, the report said.
Crews quickly responded to treat the driver and control the burning fluid spilling out into the area. Due to the crash, the station has no primary or backup power sources.
Officials expect the repairs to the station to take around two days. While repairs are going on, the firefighters will be relocated to nearby stations, according to the report.
The condition of the driver is not known at this time, the report said.
