Davenport firefighters are battling a blaze at a factory. The fire started around 7 o’clock in the old Caterpiller plant in Mount Joy just north of Davenport. The building is now used as a parts distribution center for John Deere. The fire department says all 26 employees got out of the building safely. Firefighters say their efforts are being hampered by low water pressure.
