Blaze at Brentwood Commons apartments remains under investigation
A suspicious apartment fire at Brentwood Commons on Lewis Lane near Illinois 13 left six units vacant, with one block gutted and others damaged by water and smoke. No injuries were reported as tenants, many on Social Security, sought Red Cross aid, temporary housing, and essentials while landlords offered a month’s rent and churches arranged rides for shopping.
