An Illinois pregnancy center was set ablaze in an act of arson during the early-morning hours of May 3, causing an estimated $250,000 in damage as the pro-life center scrambles to find a permanent location.
The Peoria Fire Department responded to the fire at Peoria Women’s Care Center around 2:40 a.m. on Monday and said most of the fire was contained in the front room, but damage was done to the entire building.
Fire investigators believe the fire was intentionally set but under control by 3 a.m., a local news station reported. No one was injured in the fire.
