Box alarm in Troy 6-27-11

Jim Skrabel captured a Box Alarm this morning in Troy and shared several photos along with the following account: "The fire occurred at Auto-Masters, located at 724 Cottage Street in Shorewood, Illinois. The structure was a one-story auto body shop measuring 25 by 40 feet, with a two-story house attached to the rear. Upon arrival, firefighters encountered heavy fire and smoke and deployed three 2Â½-inch lines and one 1Â¾-inch line. The Troy Fire Department quickly brought the fire under control."
