DANVILLE, Ill. (WICS) — A fire that engulfed a structure at 421 Sherman Street early this morning is believed to be incendiary, according to the Danville Fire Department. Firefighters were dispatched at approximately 2:24 a.m. after a third-party caller reported a large amount of smoke in the area.
Danville Police Department units were first on the scene and confirmed the structure was ablaze. Upon arrival, Engine 1 found the building fully involved in fire and initiated a defensive attack using a 2 1/2-inch hose line to protect nearby exposures. The structure's significant setback from the street and overhead obstructions, including a downed power line, complicated the firefighting efforts.
A second alarm was requested, and a fire investigator was called to the scene. Ameren Illinois retired all utilities to facilitate the safe demolition of the structure after suppression and investigation activities concluded. All on-duty fire suppression crews cleared the scene by 6:18 a.m., while investigators remained until 10:21 a.m.
The Illinois Office of the State Fire Marshal is assisting the Danville Fire Department with the investigation. No injuries were reported, and the estimated dollar loss is $38,500. The status of smoke alarms in the building remains unknown.
The Danville Fire Department urges anyone with information about the fire to contact them at (217) 431-2350. Assisting agencies included Ameren Illinois, the Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal, and AMT Ambulance.
