Fire guts old Lipton Tea building in Streator
STREATOR – Fire destroyed the old four-story Lipton Tea building in Streator.
Firefighters were called to the scene late Saturday night and worked throughout the early morning Sunday to extinguish the fire. Crews from Streator, Peru and Ottawa used aerial ladders to fight the fire, while tankers from as far away as Saunemin ferried water to the site.
Ottawa Captain Buck Manley said firefighters could be at the scene for days to make sure the fire was out.
