PEORIA, Ill. Peoria Firefighter/Paramedics responded Tuesday around noon to reports of a house fire at 1614 S. Easton Ave.
According to Battalion Chief Nathaniel Rice, a large amount of fire was found in the porch area of the residence when crews arrived.
With so much fire on the front porch area, Rice said it made knocking down the fire more difficult.
“When you’re trying to make entry into a structure and you’ve got flames all around the front door, it’s pretty hard to get through that and get into the house before you can get much done,” said Rice.
