A forklift caught fire Friday morning at Advantage Logistics in Oglesby.
Fire crews were called out to the distribution center just after 2:30. Oglesby Fire Chief Ronald Papurello says the business’ sprinkler system was activated and put out the fire. The forklift apparently caught fire as it was being charged.
As a precaution a mutual aid request was put out to Peru, Tonica and Utica Fire Departments. Nobody was injured. The forklift was heavily damaged but the fire didn’t spread to anywhere else.
