Galesburg Fire fights compactor blaze at Derby Industries

Galesburg Fire responded to a structure fire on Tuesday night at Derby Industries. Crews were dispatched just before 7:30 p.m. to 1033 Enterprise Drive. All three stations and 11 personnel on duty responded to the building where smoke could be seen coming from a large self-contained trash compactor and the building. The warehouse is about 200,000 sq. ft. Captain Jeff Maher and his crew made their way through with a thermal imaging camera since the entire structure was heavily filled with smoke.
