Fire at Elizabeth Apartment Complex

Officials said 20 people were displaced when a fire struck an apartment complex in Elizabeth early Sunday morning. Elizabeth Fire Chief Andy Nolan said his department was dispatched at 3 a.m. Sunday for a fire at an apartment complex on Pleasant Street. The building formerly was a nursing home. A report says some people lost everything. There were flames shooting out of the roof, but all of the residents had gotten out by the time fire crews arrived. Fire departments from Galena, Hanover, Scales Mound and Stockton provided mutual aid at the fire. The Jo Daviess County Sheriff’s Department also responded. One-third of the complex had been destroyed in the fire.
