PEORIA, Ill. – Peoria Firefighters say a spark from a welder caused a fire at a facility not far from Dozer Park.
Crews responded to GRM Industries and Natural Fiber Welding in the 800 block of SW Jefferson Avenue just after 1:00 p.m. for the fire that started in a warehouse-style commercial building.
The fire was under control in about 20 minutes, but it took crews more than an hour to ventilate the building because of its size and the large amount of smoke.
No one was hurt, but an estimated $20,000 in damage was done.
