A Delta police station was damaged on Saturday, after someone set one of its couches on fire.
It happened around 1:30 p.m. at the Delta police station on 84th Avenue and 114th Street.
The fire caused the building’s sprinklers to go off, and the building had to be evacuated.
Police said no one was hurt, and firefighters — who share the lobby of the same building — were able to quickly knock the flames down.
