Between 10:00 p.m. Sunday and 4:30 a.m. Monday Peoria Fire Fighters responded to more than 10 vehicle fires and several dumpster fires, according to the Peoria Fire Department. Officials said they wanted to make it clear that it does not account for the multiple residential and building fires they also responded to.
Throughout the night, fire and paramedics responded to medical calls, a vehicle extrication, several house fires, two shootings and other traumatic injuries. Officials said they also had to assist AMT with transporting critical patients to the emergency room on several calls. Medical attention was so severe, that the fire crews had to administer life-saving drugs and fluid therapy to keep the patients stable. The fires that occurred throughout the night and early mornings are suspected to be arson.
Police are still zigzagging throughout Peoria for multiple reports of break-ins, fires and shootings. The Illinois State Police said there were 150 cars in a line at one point driving recklessly throughout the city. The streets are still dangerous, so drivers commuting to work should take caution because of reckless drivers.
