This from John Tulipano from the 2nd Alarm fire in Batavia on Wednesday night:

Was fortunate to be in the car picking up from another fire in St Charles when Tri-Com toned out for a possible fire at 1st and Mallory in Batavia. Police reported flames from the 2nd floor window. The Batavia chief arrived and reported a 300X75, foundry-type bldg, well involved. He instructed his first engine to hit it with the deck gun and wanted to know who his first two trucks were.  He immediately  pulled a 2nd alarm.

2nd Alarm commercial fire in Batavia, 3-5-14

Batavia companies were called for a fire at 106 S. Mallory, the Metal Cast Company. They found fire in a two-story, 75×100, commercial business on the corner of Mallory and 1st, two small neighborhood streets. The attack went defensive early on and a Box Alarm was requested followed by a 2nd Alarm. Issues with the water pressure hampered putting multiple elevated master streams into operation.

John Tulipano and Brad Bartley were at the scene.
