5-Alarm fire in Genessee, WI
Jun 11
Chris Ranck submitted this article about a huge fire last night … north of the border.
From TMJ4 in Wisconsin with video:
A five-alarm barn fire has broken out in Waukesha County, leading to the death of lots of pheasant chicks.
Initially, the Town of Genesee fire chief said that up to 8,000 chicks had died in the fire; however, a farm employee tells TODAY’S TMJ4’s Melissa McCrady that 600 chicks passed away.
It began at about 2:45 a.m. at the Wern Valley Pheasant Farm. Two barns burned to the ground.
“According to the owner, they were running heaters to raise pheasant chicks. We do not know that is what caused the fire, but that is a possibility,” said a member of the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Office.
They were still investigating that cause.
Firefighters from a number of departments have been called to the scene.
According to its website, this farm has an amazing history.
It has been in the same family’s hands since it was founded in 1848, several months before Wisconsin became a state.
From Chris Ranck:
Received credible information that Downers Grove Fire Department is going to Starcomm TG FDSCENT1 as of 5-15-13 at 7am for portables only.
Rig radios still are VHF. Also Westmont Fire will be using it too soon. on the same talkgroup.
(Dave Weaver) posted many behind the scenes photos and videos from the Chicago Fire set including closeups of the Motorola gear on the “Watch Tower” which is the name for the firehouse desk with the computer terminal and portables. NBC actually had a complete replica of CFD Engine 18’s house recreated in a large film studio complex near Mt. Sinai Hospital on the old Ryerson Steel property. There is an antique radio on the bookshelf in Fire Chief Boden’s office which is actually a Simpson marine radio.

From the Mendota Reporter:
A building fire at an apartment complex in Mendota was battled by firefighters from numerous area departments on May 19.
The call came in to the Mendota Fire Department at 6:57 p.m. of a structure fire at 205 Sandra Ave., Building B. Firemen arrived on the scene just eight minutes later. Upon arrival, fire and thick black smoke were visible from the roof area of the building.
The Mendota department called for mutual aid from Troy Grove, LaSalle, Peru, Sublette and Paw Paw, while engines from Amboy and Utica came in to stand by at the Mendota station.
