5-Alarm fire in Peru (IL)
Firegeezer.com has been closely following a major fire that broke out around midnight at the former Wextclox watch and clock factory complex in Peru, Illinois—located 100 miles southwest of Chicago. According to reports, the massive structure, consisting of 44 buildings spread over a 2-block by 4-block area in downtown Peru, was engulfed in flames. The fire remained uncontrolled at daybreak, prompting the evacuation of nearby homes as a precaution.
Local authorities have classified the incident as a “very large fire,†with multiple fire departments from the surrounding region responding to the scene. The fire department is working tirelessly to bring the blaze under control, though it continues to burn fiercely.
The Washington Post National published an article featuring photos of the event, which reveals more about the cause of the fire. Police Chief Doug Bernabei confirmed during a press conference that two teenage boys—one 15 years old from Peru and another 17 years old from La Salle—were charged with aggravated arson. The older teen, who is being treated as an adult, appeared in court and was set a $250,000 bond.
According to LaSalle County State’s Attorney Brian Towne, the two teens entered the building, poured gasoline from a container they found inside onto a boat stored there, and then set it on fire before leaving. A tip from an anonymous caller led police to the suspects. The fire caused propane tanks to explode, forcing a mandatory evacuation of nearby homes. However, by 11 a.m., most residents were allowed to return, although some were still kept away due to smoke drifting directly toward their homes.
There are video recordings available of the 5-alarm fire at the historic Westclox factory in Peru. The fire was intentionally set by the two teenagers, who timed it perfectly so that the flames were visible just eight seconds after midnight. One firefighter from LaSalle was injured and underwent surgery this morning.
Here are links to live footage from the fire, captured in two parts. The fifth alarm was sounded at the beginning of Part 2. These videos provide a dramatic look at the intensity of the blaze and the heroic efforts of first responders.
