Suspicious Fires In Streator

Two fires within an hour just a few blocks apart. Seems fishy doesn’t it?

The State Fire Marshal’s Office is helping to investigate the cause of a pickup truck and garage fire in Streator. Firefighters were first called to the truck fire just after 4am Tuesday on West LaRue Street. Damage was also done to a nearby camper, garage, and car.

Less than an hour later, Streator firefighters went to Madison Street for a garage fire. A car was damage as was a neighbor’s garage.
