PEORIA — A fire that began late Saturday ravaged Downtown’s historic Madison Theater.
More than a half-dozen fire trucks responded to a blaze in the back stage area of the venue. Battalion Chief Tom Carr, with the Peoria Fire Department, said the it appeared the fire started about 10:40 p.m. An investigator was on the scene early Sunday to try to determine how the fire started.
After firefighters began to leave about 12:40 a.m. Sunday, at least one hot spot reignited.
It’s too early to determine how much damage was done to the structure, Carr said, but it could amount to more than $100,000.
