Lincolnshire-Riverwoods FPD firefighters responded to an automatic alarm at 200 Schelter Road late Sunday morning (8/7/16) and found a generator fire in a small room outside of a metal processing company. The alarm was upgraded shortly thereafter to a Code 4 for the working fire. The flames were extinguished quickly and most mutual aid companies were returned. There was significant damage to one of the building’s generators.
