2-Alarm fire in Sycamore, 7-27-19 (more)

This is a firsthand account from Eric Haak:

The Sycamore, Illinois Fire Department was dispatched at 5:40 p.m. on Saturday, July 27th, for a balcony fire at the St. Albans Greens Apartment Complex. Initial photos taken by residents showed a small fire in the corner of a second-floor balcony on the "C" side of the U-shaped complex. When the incident commander arrived, heavy smoke was already coming from the rear, and the fire had spread into the attic. The situation was immediately contained upon arrival. An aggressive interior attack was launched, but shortly after 6:00 p.m., the crews switched to a defensive strategy. The main structure measured 250 feet by 60 feet, with 150-foot by 60-foot wings extending from each end. The nearest hydrant was located 400 feet away. I arrived over an hour and a half after the initial call. All of the above is based on my personal observations and should not be considered an official report.

Mending Agents For Polyesters

A special reactive surfactant compound, with excellent diffusion and dispersion property, very strong migrating power to disperse dyes, under the condition of high temperature and high pressure, dyestuffs are allowed to migrate from high concentration to low concentration, until all areas are dyed uniformly, thus the levelling out of the unlevel dyeing can be achieve.
