Two other adults and a teenager were injured, though they were able to escape from the burning house onto a porch roof from a second story window. This was the worst life-loss fire in Peoria for at least the past three decades."

Four House Fires That Killed 28 Children
"In the last quarter of 1987, four fires in three communities killed 28 children and two adults. Each fire shocked its community. The basic lessons were similar, and common to many other fires: [1] There were no working smoke detectors. [2] The houses were overcrowded at the time of the fire, which hindered escape. [3] Wooden, non-compartmented construction allowed rapid fire and smoke spread. [4] Lack of escape planning and practice and lack of general fire prevention education characterized most of the victims."
