(CNN) — A bat infestation has forced a fire station in Nevada to close for an “undetermined amount of time,” according to a release from the Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District. “Due to an infestation of bats, it has been determined that the station is a health and safety risk to fire crews,” the release said. Firefighters and paramedics who work there are being relocated to a nearby station as the bat infestation is addressed. This isn’t the first time that the fire district has faced a bat problem. “The Fire District attempted to remediate the problem in 2015, only to have the bats return,” the release said.
