Two State Police Troopers suffer minor injuries after pulling driver from fiery crash in East Peoria Two Illinois State Police Troopers suffered minor injuries early Saturday morning while rescuing a driver from a fiery crash on Cedar Street in East Peoria. Assistant Fire Chief Ronnie Marmitt says the vehicle was heading east on Cedar Street when it drove through the construction zone where there was no pavement, and hit the guardrail. The East Peoria Fire Department quickly put out the fire. "Both troopers, whose names have not been disclosed at this time, exhibited exceptional bravery in the face of danger, risking their own safety to save another. Despite sustaining minor injuries during the rescue, their selfless actions undoubtedly prevented a potentially fatal outcome," said Marmitt in a press release. The driver, who was the only person in the vehicle at the time of the crash, was taken to the hospital for treatment. Their condition is unknown. WEEK-TV NBC/ABC/CW+ 25 PEORIA Central Illinois fire stations part of $4 million grant Multiple central Illinois fire stations are recipients for the 2024 Small Equipment Grant Program, according to an Illinois State Fire Marshal news release. In total, 165 fire departments/districts and EMS providers were granted up to $26,000 for small firefighting and ambulance equipment. We continue to see and hear about the need and understand the issues fire departments face when it comes to funding across the state. I am proud this year we were able to increase our grant funding to $4 million, a $2.5 million increase from last year, which has allowed us to award over 100 more departments money to purchase lifesaving tools they might not have been able to afford otherwise." said Illinois State Fire Marshall James A. Rivera. WMBD-TV CBS 31 PEORIA PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |
