CAMBRIA, N.Y. (WIVB) - A fire near the town of Wilson caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage, to one of the town's fire departments.

The Cambria Department caught on fire Monday afternoon.

Four of the station's trucks were damaged, one was completely lost and repairs could cost well over half a million dollars.

"I know our surrounding companies have offered equipment and firefighting gear so we can get back on our feet," said Shawn Mcintyre, Assistant Fire Chief

Two of the company's trucks were in substation and we undamaged.

Area residents will have their fire and emergency services covered by the Pekin and Wilson Fire Departments for the immediate future.
