Mishawaka IN 2nd Alarm 2-11-13 - Jamie - 02-11-2013
Address: 500 S Union Street
"Fire Dispatch, Station 1, rush traffic!"
"Station 1."
"Send a full response to the old RMG Warehouse behind our station, we have heavy fire showing!"
That's how it started, with this vacant warehouse fully involved within minutes due to low hydrant pressure and high winds. Companies tried to protect an exposure building, but to no avail. A 2nd alarm brought apparatus from South Bend and St Joseph County.

I don't believe so, it was the plant north of that one, next to the railroad tracks.

Stopped back today to see the ruins, but PD still had the area cordoned off, so this was the best I could do.
Truck 1 still spraying down hot spots, with Station 1 right there on the left.
