PEORIA, Ill. – A late-morning fire Thursday in Peoria’s West Bluff neighborhood was determined to be an accident, and electrical in nature.
That’s according to Peoria Fire, who says crews were called to a home near Bigelow and Richmond at 11:22 a.m., where they saw smoke and fire coming from the second floor of the two-and-a-half story home.
Crews were able to keep the fire from spreading to a nearby home, and had the blaze out in less than a half hour.
Residents of the home got out safely, but fire crews say they had to move multiple pets to a safe area.
No one was hurt, and family members are salvaging their belongings.
Damage was estimated at $75,000.
