A late-night fire call came just in time as Kewanee firefighters were able to prevent a house at 608 Stokes Street from completely going up in flames. Firefighters were called out just after midnight Friday following the report of a garage fire. When they arrived, the entire neighborhood was lit up by the glow of the fire as the garage was fully engulfed and emitting a large plume of smoke over downtown Kewanee. It collapsed as fire trucks arrived. Also catching fire was a pull-behind recreational trailer, with flames from it crawling to the house and moving up the side toward the roof. Residents in the house escaped injury and flames on the house were put it before it caused any substantial structural damage.
