St. Charles General Alarm, 5-16-14

From John Tulipano:

At approximately 13:20 today (5/16/14) TriComm dispatched a general alarm for a reported fire in St Charles at 1612 Ronzheimer. First arriving companies reported nothing showing… As I arrived about 5 minutes after the dispatch companies were leading out a 2nd line and forcing entry into the garage.. fire was quickly knocked down… one small dog rescued.
