John Tulipano took in a general alarm this afternoon in West Chicago:

Well for once I was in the right place at the right time, I was behind West Chicago Station 1 when the general alarm came in. I followed the (3) buggies and TL6 to the fire.
Not much to see, it was some type of fire in a research lab at Ball Seed. Initial reports was an incuibator on the 2nd floor.
