A blaze broke out at a Georgia fire station over the weekend when crews responded to a call at a burning home.
Firefighters with Hall County's Station No. 5 were cooking breakfast around 10:45 a.m. Sunday morning when they were alerted to a residential fire off Spout Springs Road, Fire Chief Chris Armstrong said in a press release obtained by PEOPLE.
The stove was left on "accidentally" as the crew rushed to respond to the blaze, according to Monday's statement.

The firefighters "found smoke in the kitchen" when they first entered the room, Armstrong said.
A small fire could also be seen "coming from the stove top," he added.
