ST. CHARLES, IL
– Two fire sprinklers controlled a fire at a local business. According to Battalion Chief Jeremy Mauthe the fire started in a three-tiered rack storage with plywood bases. The sprinklers helped cool the area and contributed to the limited fire spread. One person was working in the building at the time, but no injuries were reported.  The fire was contained to the one area of the building.
