Fire News - New

The Geneva Fire Department responded to a machine fire at 10:25 p.m. Nov. 7 at Industrial Hard Chrome, 501 Fluid Power Drive.

First-responders arrived at the business within four minutes and observed smoke coming from several open overhead doors on the building.

The fire, which was extinguished around 11:30 p.m., was confined to the machine and its dust collection system. There was no structural damage to the building or any of the other machines. Nobody was injured in the fire.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation. No damage estimate is available at this time.

The Geneva Fire Department was assisted at the scene by the St. Charles, Batavia, West Chicago, and Elburn fire departments as well as the Geneva Police Department. The Fermi Lab and North Aurora fire departments provided coverage at Geneva’s stations during the incident.
