Riviera Restaurant Destroyed by Fire
June 9, 2010: Firefighters were not able to save the Riviera Restaurant from the flames. The famous historic restaurant, situated 60 miles outside of Chicago, was absolutely gutted.
Dousing the fire was not easy for the reason that there were no hydrants in the neighborhood of the restaurant. Tankers were called in to transport water to firefighters.
Other crews from several communities in the region were also called to help.
No one was hurt in the fire. An investigation is at this time underway.
