PEORIA, Ill. – A fire that destroyed a Peoria home appears to have been intentionally set.
Fire Battalion Chief Ryan Calhoun says crews were called to S. Brown Street, just off SW Jefferson Avenue, around 3:15 a.m. Tuesday, finding heavy fire coming from the home.
The fire was under control in less than 30 minutes.
Due to extensive damage and a partial collapse, Peoria Code Enforcement called for an emergency demolition of the home.
No one was injured.
Damage is estimated at $70,000.
