Joliet casino burnsFire and thick black smoke rose from a building at the Empress Casino in Joliet most of the day Friday. It shut down the gambling floor and forced the evacuation of hundreds of gamblers and workers.The fire broke out at approximately 10 a.m., and appeared to be out at around 5 p.m. Most of the firefighters in Joliet and some neighboring areas had been deployed to the scene when the blaze broke out, according to officials. Two people were hospitalized with injuries that were not life-threatening. More and video - http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=news/local&id=6720317 |

It sure is a bad time for something like this to happen. Joliet has a higher than average unemployment as it is. The revenue loss to the city is likely to cost even more jobs there and the list goes on.
Does anyone else here question, how often this seems to happen. Workers doing repairs or building cause fires. We have had more than a few around here happening like that. Usually it's plumbers with blowtorches. When I had some work done a few months back, you bet I went and checked the area completely when they finished. |
