Halifax Fire division commander Lloyd Currie says the fire at the three-bay volunteer fire station (on Old Sambro Road) broke out around 9:45 a.m.
Currie says black smoke could be seen billowing out of the garage doors as roughly 12 fire crews fought the flames.
He says firefighters were able to remove a fire engine, a tanker truck and a rescue pickup truck from the building before they were damaged.
Currie says the fire started in the back corner of the building and the station was extensively damaged, but not destroyed.
No one was injured and the cause is under investigation.
