It took around three hours in frigid conditions for firefighters to extinguish the fire and make sure it had not spread to other parts of the building.

All off-duty personnel were recalled to assist at the scene and staff the fire station.

No firefighters or employees were injured.

The cause of the fire is unintentional and mechanical in nature, according to fire officials.
