Working fire in West Chicago, 5-19-24

This from Daniel Hynd:

West Chicago FPD worked a fire in taxpayer at 116 Main St yesterday, 5-19-24. Originally came in as an AFA, Battalion 6 had heavy smoke from the roof on his arrival. Crews found fire in the cockloft and used hand lines and Wheaton’s tower to get it in check.

  Isn’t that what a taxpayer is Chuck? Yeah I get that it’s wood frame and not the typical “City” “Ordinary Construction, ” but its still apartments over commercial.

  Odd to hear the word taxpayer used to describe this building.
