Vandals, most likely between the ages of 9 and 14, broke into the Homewood Acres Firehouse over Memorial Day weekend and trashed it.

Video cameras caught the suspects as they entered the facility through a window and proceeded to move through the building, wrecking every room in the station.

Firefighters say the only thing stolen was approximately $160 in petty cash and some snacks. Damage to the facility is estimated to be in excess of $100,000.

“The opening of Fire Station 56 is another successful day in the Greensboro Fire Department history.”
