Fire breaks out in florist, event decoration shop in north suburban Chicago
LIBERTYVILLE, Ill. (CBS) -- A fire broke out Tuesday evening at a floral and event decoration shop in Libertyville.
Around 8 p.m. Tuesday, the Libertyville Fire Department was called for smoke coming out of Joseph's Events at 1022 N. Milwaukee Ave. in the north suburb.
The alarm was upgraded to a second level for extra equipment and manpower. Fire departments from numerous other northern suburbs helped put out the blaze.
The fire was put out without an hour, but the interior of the building sustained smoke and fire damage everywhere, the fire department said.
There were no injuries in the fire.
The cause remained under investigation Wednesday.
The Joseph's website says it specializes in creating personalized décor for events – such as "custom logos, fantastic artwork, masterful floral designs, dramatic chuppas, romantic aisles, theatrical lighting, or engaging backdrops."
