if your cars the fire engine in it, it wont have done any damage. just a new timing belt and tensioner will sort it out.

If the engine was running at the time the belt snapped the could be untold damage to a number of valves. Repair will probably require removal of the head ( top half of the engine ), replacement valves grinding in, head refitting with all electrics and a replacement head gasket, then a new timing belt and thouroughly timing before attempting to start the car. Looks like an expensive job unfortunately.
