PEORIA, Ill. – It appears arson is to blame for a fire on S. Western in Peoria Thursday night.
Crews were called just before midnight to a home in between W. Lincoln Avenue and W. Ann Street, after a 9-1-1 caller said they’d heard an explosion.
Once inside, firefighters found multiple rooms in flames on the first and second floors.
No one was inside the home, and due to extensive damage, it had to be demolished.
One firefighter suffered minor injuries on the scene. They were treated by AMT and then released.
Total damage was estimated at $60,000.
