The fire reportedly burned for about 90 minutes before being brought under control. According to first shift foreman Jim Moye, when the fire was first discovered it appeared to be a small one in a ceiling above the office. "When we hit it with a fire extinguisher, it just seemed to take off. It got big real fast and we called the fire department at that point," Moye said. Marengo Fire Chief Ross Kitchen said the department responded to the emergency call within three minutes. "Apparently, light where the fire started there was a cooling tower that provided L . of air flow. When the fire got established, all that oxygen just it and it got out-of-hand very quickly," Kitchen said. There were about 40 employees in the building when the fire was Illinois Attorney General Neil F. Hartigan has issued an of­ ficial opinion upholding strict statewide enforcement of an Illinois law prohibiting able- bodied persons from using parking spaces reserved for the disabled. In addition, Hartigan's opinion, issued to State Sen. Howard W. Carrol, D-Chicago, upholds uniform statewide application of a $50 fine for any such parking violation. Carroll, a sponsor of the . legislation, asked whether the new law pertains to private parking areas that are used by the public and whether home- rule units of local government may impose fines different from that specified by statute.

Marengo sheriffs pol Snorkel « equipment came from Huntley ditkmal pumpers and tankers came from Ui and Harvard and ad- Jnion and Boone County. The Genoa-Kingston department was dispatched to fill in for the Marengo Fire Protection District in the event of another fire emergency in Marengo. The Boone County team set up in front of a nearby lumber com­ pany and as the fire grew, spectators gathered in the area. Rescue squad members, firemen and police contained the crowd at a safe distance, because there was danger of an explosion. The fire chief explained there was a furnace in the plant that was temperature-controlled by circulating water. "Because of the structual damage the water supply was cut off to the furnace and we couldn't get to the controls because of the intense heat. There was real danger of the unit overheating and blowing," Kitchen said. In addition to keeping onlookers at a safe distance, Marengo police took the precaution to evacuate nearby homes. The fire was brought under control about 12:30 p.m. However, »nit« of the fire district remained at the scene for several more hours as a precautionary measure. The cause of the blaze, which is under investigation, has not been determined.
