St. Charles 2nd Alarm 6/1/11
The St. Charles Fire Department responded to a second-alarm fire at Salerno’s on the Fox restaurant on Wednesday. The Sun-Times and Tribune have covered the incident with detailed reports—read more HERE and HERE.
No injuries were reported during the blaze at the 320 N. 2nd Street location. Fire Chief Patrick Mullen stated that the fire was first noticed at 5:24 p.m., with smoke visible from the back of the single-story establishment. “It looks like the area of origin was around the gas meters,†he said, adding, “It’s a blow-torch situation.â€
Firefighters from ten local departments worked together to control the flames, which were fueled by a ruptured natural gas line. Water was continuously applied to the stubborn fire as crews worked to contain it.
John Tulipano arrived at the scene and captured several images of the emergency vehicles that responded.
John has shared additional photos of the response here.
