PHOTOS: Fire badly damaged an ambulance and two other large vehicles belonging to the City of Maitland early Wednesday. Maitland Fire Chief Chris Morton said the fire broke out shortly after 3 a.m. in an outside parking area at the city’s fleet reserve complex off Fennell Street. Morton said the three vehicles were parked under a canopy-type structure meant to provide some coverage. The fire damaged that structure as well. Morton described the three vehicles as a spare ambulance, a rehab unit and a front-end loader. Morton said the city was planning to soon make major modifications to the ambulance and outfit it for future use. As for the rehab unit, he said firefighters and other law enforcement often used it as a retreat to cool off and recover at incident scenes and it even included a bathroom.
