Ten fire departments were called Tuesday evening to battle fire at Advanced
Drainage Systems (ADS) in Harvard, Illinois. When the second call came
through, the entire stock of plastic drainage tiles was ablaze.
Harvard Fire Department was the first to arrive on the scene, with nine
other departments arriving shortly thereafter. It took 100 firefighters
over an hour to control the storage yard blaze.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
